Using the iSCSI Wizard

You can use the iSCSI Wizard to configure a new or existing initiator on a switch.

To use the iSCSI Wizard, follow these steps:

  1. Double-click on the iSCSI Wizard icon in the Fabric Manager toolbar (see Figure).

  2. Select an existing initiator from the list, or enter the iqn name or IP address of the initiator, and enter the IP address of the switch on which you want to configure the new initiator.
  3. Assign names for the node WWN and port WWN fields.

    There are three options. The Auto option assigns the WWN from a pool of about 440,000 WWNs per switch and is returned to pool when you log out. The Persistent option also assigns the WWN from a pool. However, when you log out of the switch, the WWIN is not returned to the pool but is saved for the initiator. The third option is to statically assign the WWN by manually entering WWN that the initiator will use.

  4. Click the Finish button to create the initiator.
