HP StorageWorks SAN Director Installation Guide (A7393-90009, May 2007)

Installing the optional B-Series iSCSI Director Blade154
domain set can be created/defined but only one can be enabled at any point in time. The
active/enabled discovery domain set will be enforced across all the switches in the fabric.
When you execute commit, the switch on which the command is executed will become the master
and will merge the discovery domain database to the rest of the IP-aware switches. Then use
iscsicfg show fabric to verify the database merge.
iscsicfg [ --create | --show | --add | --delete | --enable |
--disable ] ddset [-n DD Set name] [–d DD_Names] args
NOTE: If there is a conflict, then the database on the rest of the switches will be overridden by the
database on the current switch (which initiated the merger) and intervention is needed to clear the
conflict. However, the rest of the switches will function normally. There is no segmentation of
E_Ports when the discovery domain set database conflicts.
To create a discovery domain set, use the iscsicfg --create ddset command with the -n and -d
operands:
:
An explicit enable operation needs to be done to enable the discovery domain set. To enable the
newly created DDSet, use the following command:
:
Defining CHAP entries for iSCSI device authentication
The modify command can be used only for changing the authentication method for a target from
None to CHAP or CHAP to None. If nothing is specified, no authentication method is enforced. If
CHAP is specified, then either one-way or mutual CHAP enforcement will be performed based on
the login frame from host.
iscsicfg < --create | --show | --modify | --delete | --clear > auth
[-u username] [–s CHAP_Secret] args
To modify the authentication method for a target, use the iscsicfg --modify command as
follows:
switch:admin> iscsicfg --create ddset -n myddset -d mydd,mynewdd
Operation Succeeded
switch:admin> iscsicfg –-enable ddset –n myddset
Operation Succeeded
