The ASU supports
setting iSCSI boot parameters. This section describes how to configure
iSCSI settings.
The ASU is designed
to configure iSCSI settings, which do not initially exist. This section
describes the steps for creating and configuring the iSCSI settings.
Before you configure iSCSI boot parameters, read the following
information:
- The iSCSI settings are grouped into a record. The record key for
the record is the iSCSI.AttemptName setting. Each record represents
an attempt. The term "attempt" is equivalent to the term "instance"
that is defined for other settings.
- More than one attempt can be defined. In the examples in this
section, all the settings that end with .1 belong
to the "first" attempt. The iSCSI.AttemptName.1 setting defines the
name of the attempt group of settings.
- If more than one attempt is defined, the same setting names that
define the attempt group are used, but each attempt contains a different
instance number sequence.
- The iSCSI settings can be created by using the ASUset command
on an instance of the iSCSI.AttemptName setting that does not already
exist.
- The iSCSI settings can be deleted by using the ASUdelete command
on an instance of the iSCSIAttemptName setting. This command deletes
all iSCSI settings for that instance because iSCSI instance settings
are grouped as a record.
- The iSCSI.InitiatorName parameter is the
only one defined as a global iSCSI setting to all attempts and does
not require an instance index. This setting does not require the attempt
index that all the other settings require. The initiator name is always
defined as iSCSI.InitiatorName.
- The iSCSI parameters are defined in the iSCSI group of settings.
To list the available iSCSI settings, type the following command:
asu show iscsi
Single attempt group
The following example
shows the list of settings if a single attempt group is defined. All
setting names with the same instance
.1 belong to
the same attempt group:
iSCSI.InitiatorName
iSCSI.MacAddress.1
iSCSI.AttemptName.1
iSCSI.IscsiMode.1
iSCSI.ConnectRetryCount.1
iSCSI.ConnectTimeout.1
iSCSI.InitiatorInfoFromDhcp.1
iSCSI.LocalIp.1
iSCSI.SubnetMask.1
iSCSI.Gateway.1
iSCSI.TargetInfoFromDhcp.1
iSCSI.TargetName.1
iSCSI.TargetIp.1
iSCSI.TargetPort.1
iSCSI.BootLun.1
iSCSI.CHAPType.1
iSCSI.CHAPName.1
iSCSI.CHAPSecret.1
iSCSI.ReverseCHAPName.1
iSCSI.ReverseCHAPSecret.1
iSCSI.MacAddress.2
Two attempt groups
The following example
shows the list of settings if two attempts are defined:
iSCSI.InitiatorName
iSCSI.MacAddress.1
iSCSI.AttemptName.1
iSCSI.IscsiMode.1
iSCSI.ConnectRetryCount.1
iSCSI.ConnectTimeout.1
iSCSI.InitiatorInfoFromDhcp.1
iSCSI.LocalIp.1
iSCSI.SubnetMask.1
iSCSI.Gateway.1
iSCSI.TargetInfoFromDhcp.1
iSCSI.TargetName.1
iSCSI.TargetIp.1
iSCSI.TargetPort.1
iSCSI.BootLun.1
