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 V7000 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.
