Chapter 20 iSCSI Configuration
Configuring iSCSI
when a new iSCSI host is added. On the storage array, all LUNs that are used by iSCSI initiators are
configured to allow access by the proxy initiator’s pWWN. From the iSCSI perspective, this
configuration is no different from the default mode (see Figure 20-10).
Figure 20-10 iSCSI View of a Proxy Initiator
From the Fibre Channel perspective, only one Fibre Channel initiator is visible per VSAN (see
Figure 20-11).
