Configuring or modifying an iSCSI alias by using the CLI

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.

1. 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.

2. 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.
