Changing the iSCSI Target Identification

You cannot change the iSCSI target name, but you can associate an alias with the target for simpler identification. Aliases are useful because the iSCSI target names are not intuitive. You should provide an iSCSI target alias that is meaningful and easy to remember.

To change the iSCSI target identification:

1In the AMW, select the Setup tab.

2Select Manage iSCSI Settings.

The Manage iSCSI Settings window is displayed.

3Select the Target Identification tab.

4Type the alias in iSCSI target alias.

5Click OK.

NOTE: Aliases can contain up to 30 characters. Aliases can include letters, numbers, and the special characters underscore (_), minus (-), and pound sign (#). No other special characters are permitted.

NOTE: Open iSCSI (which is used by Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 with SP 1) does not support using target alias.

Changing the iSCSI Target Discovery Settings

To change the iSCSI target discovery settings:

1In the AMW, select the Setup tab.

The Manage iSCSI Settings window is displayed.

3Select the Target Discovery tab.

4Select Use iSNS to activate iSCSI target discovery.

To activate iSCSI target discovery, you can use one of the following methods:
