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 or iSER-attached host.
About this task
To configure or modify an iSCSI alias, follow these steps:
Procedure
-
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.
What to do next
After you create iSCSI aliases, you can optionally configure the address for the internet
Storage Name Service (iSNS) server for the system.
