You can use the command-line interface (CLI) to optionally
create or change the iSCSI alias for the selected node. An iSCSI alias
is a user-assigned name that identifies the Lenovo Storage V series node
to the iSCSI-attached host.
To configure or modify an iSCSI alias, follow these steps:
- To configure a new port IP address to a specified Ethernet
port of a node, enter the following CLI command:
chnode -iscsialias alias node_name | node_id
where alias
node_name | node_id specifies the name or ID of the node.
- To specify that the name or iSCSI alias that is being set
is the name or alias of the partner node in the I/O group, enter the
following CLI command.
When there is no partner node, the values set are applied to the partner node when it is added to the
clustered system. If this parameter is used when there is a partner node, the name or alias of that node changes
chnode -iscsialias alias -failover node_name | node_id
where alias specifies the iSCSI name of the node and node_name | node_id specifies the node to be modified.
After you create iSCSI aliases, you can optionally configure the address for the Internet Storage Name Service (iSNS) server for the system.
