SANRAD V-Switch manual Configuring iSCSI Portals

Do not create an iSCSI portal on the management IP address.

The V-Switch supports a maximum of 100 portals.

Deleting an iSNS Server

Use the CLI command ip isns remove to remove an iSNS server from the V- Switch iSNS client.

ip isns remove

You need to define one parameter to remove an iSNS server address:

SWITCH	PARAMETER	DEFINITION	STATUS	EXAMPLE
-ip	IP ADDRESS	IP ADDRESS OF	MANDATORY	212.199.43.1
		ISNS SERVER

Configuring iSCSI Portals

To enable communication between iSCSI initiators and iSCSI targets you need to assign a portal to the iSCSI protocol transport. Use the CLI command iscsi portal create to create an iSCSI portal. A portal is the coupling of an IP address and a TCP port. Once created, a portal is opened automatically during a communication session. If you are working in a V-Switch cluster, each portal must be created on both V- Switches in the V-Switch cluster. For more information on V-Switch clusters, see “Introduction to V-Switch Clusters,” page 72.

iscsi portal create

You need to define two parameters to configure an iSCSI portal:

SWITCH	PARAMETER	DEFINITION	STATUS	EXAMPLE
-ip	IP ADDRESS	USER-ASSIGNED	MANDATORY	212.199.43.66
		NETWORK PORT IP
		ADDRESS
-p	TCP PORT	TCP PORT	OPTIONAL
		THROUGH WHICH	DEFAULT:
		THE ISCSI	3260
		PROTOCOL PASSES

Example:

An iSCSI portal is created using the default TCP port 3260 for the IP address 212.199.43.66.
