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 a 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 a system does not have a partner node, the values set are applied to the partner node
when it is added to the 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.
