Configuring discovery domains

A discovery domain (DD) controls iSCSI initiator access to iSCSI VTs. A DD is a group of

iSCSI initiators and iSCSI VTs identified by IQNs. The iSCSI initiators can access only the iSCSI VTs

that are in the DD to which they are assigned. When there are no discovery domains, all iSCSI

initiators can access all iSCSI VTs.

NOTE

All iSCSI components in a DD must be identified using IQNs, see “Identifying iSCSI components” on

page 5.

Showing iSCSI initiator IQNs

Fabric OS temporarily stores the IQNs and IP addresses of iSCSI initiators that have logged in the

gateway. The iscsiCfg

--show initiator command displays all stored iSCSI initiator information.

NOTE

If an iSCSI initiator has more than one IP address, only one of the IP addresses is displayed.

To display iSCSI initiator IQNs

1. Connect and log in to the switch.

2. Enter the iscsiCfg

--show initiator command as follows:

switch:admin> iscsicfg --show initiator

Number of records found: 1

Creating discovery domains

A discovery domain allows you to define the iSCSI initiator-to-iSCSI VT access.

To create a DD

1. Connect and log in to the switch.

2. Enter the iscsiCfg

--create dd command with the -d option as follows:

switch:admin> iscsicfg --create dd -d dd-host001 —m \

“iqn.1991-05.com.microsoft:host001.brocade.com,iqn.2006-10.com.example:disk001”

The operation completed successfully.

3. To verify enter the iscsiCfg --show dd command as follows:

switch:admin> iscsicfg --show dd

Number of records found: 1

Name: dd-host001

Status: Defined
