Managing iSCSI names |
The Manage iSCSI Names page enables you to perform the following procedures:
Changing the Filer's iSCSI Node Name:
To change the iSCSI node name of the filer, complete the following steps:
From the Manage iSCSI Names page, go to the Change node name field and type a new node name for the filer.
An iSCSI node name uses the following format:
iqn.yyyy-mm.backward_naming_authority:unique_device_name
where:
backward_naming_authority is the reverse domain name (for example, com.second_level_domain) of the entity responsible for naming this device.
yyyy-mm is the year and month in which the naming authority acquired the domain name.
unique_device_name is a
unique, free-format name for the device assigned by the naming authority.

Creating or Modifying the Filer's iSCSI Alias:
To create an iSCSI alias for the filer, complete the following steps:
From the Manage iSCSI Names page, go to the Create alias field and type an alias for the filer.
An iSCSI alias is a user-friendly identifier you assign to an iSCSI target device (in this case, the filer) to make it easier to identify the target device in user interfaces. An iSCSI alias is a string of 1-128 printable, non-whitespace characters. Strings containing any blanks will be rejected.
Click Apply.
Deleting the Filer's iSCSI Alias:
To delete the iSCSI alias for the filer, complete the following steps:
From the Manage iSCSI Names page, go to the Create alias field and clear the field of all characters.
Do not use blank characters to clear the field. Strings containing any blanks will be rejected.
