There are several
considerations to be aware of when working
with an HP-UX host for iSCSI.
- The
HP-UX iSCSI initiator skips any IPv6 addresses
and continues connections with the IPv4 addresses received during
the discovery process.
- The HP-UX iSCSI initiator tries to
log in on all the target IP
addresses that have been found in the discovery phase. In this situation,
the Lenovo Storage V series system iSCSI login toggles.
- For
HP-UX Fibre Channel host attachments,
use the hpux host type when creating the host
object. However, for iSCSI HP-UX host attachment, use the default
host type when creating the host object.
- The
HP-UX host does not discover the newly exported
LUNs if the IBM device files
have been removed by using the rmsf command and if
the deleted target IP has been re-added using the iscsiutil
-a -I command. In this situation, you must reboot your HP-UX
host and then add the target IP and discover the LUNs.
- The
HP-UX iSCSI initiator does not log off completely
even after deleting the target IP using iscsiutil -d -I command.
The LUNs remain visible on the HP-UX host. If this occurs, restart
the system.
