2.4 Mapping devices: iSCSI

SCSI devices are mapped using the designations for the SCSI bus, target and LUN. CLI commands are used to modify the mapping. The easiest way to map devices is to use the Automap command, either through the CLI or the browser-based interface, ATTO ExpressNAV.

Note

For iSCSI-configured iPBridge models only.

To map devices, you must have a host computer connected to the iPBridge serial port or an Ethernet port. Refer to Getting an IP address on page 10.

The recommended management tool for the iPBridge is ATTO ExpressNAV.

By default, a host or initiator views the iPBridge as a single iSCSI node with all available SCSI devices shown as LUNs on a single iSCSI target. Refer to Exhibit 2.4-1

You may use Multiple Target mode to break the single iSCSI node into multiple nodes. Multiple Target mode allows you to grant or deny access

between initiators and devices as needed. Refer to Exhibit 2.4-1

Node names

iSCSI nodes are accessed through the Ethernet ports on an iPBridge, each identified by its own IP address.

The iPBridge uses the iqn name format, referencing the device serial number, to guarantee that the target name is world-wide unique:

iqn.1995-12.com.attotech:ipbridge: serialnumber

CAUTION

Changing the device map can affect the host’s view of devices and your application configuration.

Single Target mode

Single Target mode is the default. Use ATTO ExpressNAV interface to map devices automatically or manually. Refer to ATTO ExpressNAV interface on page 21.
