HP P6000 manual Configuring iSCSI devices

NOTE: If an unmanaged array is moved from the initialized state to an uninitialized state by the managing HP P6000 Command View instance, the passive HP P6000 Command View instance does not display this change until the node is clicked or the array is refreshed on the navigation pane.

Configuring iSCSI devices

You can use HP P6000 Command View to manage EVAs that include iSCSI devices (called the iSCSI connectivity option). If your configuration includes iSCSI controllers, configure them as follows:

1.Install the iSCSI devices. See HP EVA iSCSI Connectivity Quick Start Instructions for Windows for installation instructions.

2.If the iSCSI controllers are not discovered:

From the storage system point of view navigation pane, select the iSCSI controller icon in the Hardware folder, and:

a.Force a discovery cycle by clicking Discover ISCSI Devices.

b.If the discovery cycle does not detect the devices, click Add ISCSI Devices, and then add them manually.

If HP P6000 Command View does not detect a device or an error message is displayed when you manually enter the IP address of a device, ensure that the Fibre Channel ports of the iSCSI controllers are zoned with the host ports of the EVAs.

The discovery cycle adds a single iSCSI controller object to the hosts folder. Add the iSCSI hosts, and then you can present virtual disks to the iSCSI host as you would present any virtual disk to a host.

NOTE: HP P6000 Command View supports the mpx100 and MPX200 iSCSI controllers. HP P6000 Command View 9.4 or later supports the FC-iSCSI and iSCSI/FCoE controller options for the P6300/P6500 EVAs. For more information, see the HP P6000 Command View online help.

You cannot delete auto-generated iSCSI mpx hosts manually; however, they are deleted automatically when you delete the iSCSI controller. For documentation and other information, see the HP Business Support Center Manuals website:
