NOTE:
Regardless whether IP addresses or IP names are used in the iSNS server data file, every iSNS server
listed must be known to TCP/IP. Use the command TCPIP SHOW HOST to determine if the server is
known to TCP/IP. Use the command TCPIP SET HOST to add the server to the local TCP/IP host
database. A server not known to TCP/IP will not be queried by the iSCS I Initi ator.
NOTE:
The default TCP/IP port used for iSNS tr affic is 3205. This port number cannot be configured.
NOTE:
The OpenVMS Sof
tware-Based iSCSI Initiator does not currently support IPv6. All IP addresses must be
IPv4.
Starting th e iSCSI Initiator
Starting the iSCSI Initiator
After config uring the hosts and targets, the OpenVMS Software-Based iSCSI Initiator can be started
by executing the DCL command procedure SYS$STARTUP:ISCSI$INITIATOR_STARTUP.COM.
To start the iSCSI Initiator each time the host is booted, add the following line to
SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM:
$ @SYS$STARTUP:ISCSI$INITIATOR_STARTUP.COM
NOTE:
Note that TCP/IP must be fully loaded before the iSCSI Initiator is started.
Stopping the iSCSI Initiator
Generally, there should be no need to stop the iSCSI Initiator after it h as been loaded.
However, should the need arise to stop the initiator, execute the DCL command procedure
SYS$STARTUP:ISCSI$INITIATOR_SHUTDOWN.COM.
NOTE:
Note that if TCP/IP is stopped on a system running the iSCSI Initiator, the initiator will be automatically
stopped and unloaded as part of the rundown of TCP/IP. After restarting TCP/IP, the iSCSI Initiator
must be manually restarted.
NOTE:
HP strongly recommends that traffic to all iSCSI target storage devices be quieted prior to shutting
down the initiator.
Setting up storage for OpenVMS
To set up storage for OpenVMS:
1. Set up LUNs using HP Command View EVA.
See “Using HP Command View EVA to configure LUN s to iSCSI initiators” on page 129.
