Enabling iSCSI

To use the iSCSI feature, you must explicitly enable iSCSI on the required switches in the fabric. By default, this feature is disabled in all switches in the Cisco MDS 9000 Family.

To enable iSCSI on any participating switch using Fabric Manager, follow these steps:

  1. Choose End Devices > iSCSI in the Physical Attributes pane.

The Control tab is the default tab. You see the iSCSI enable status for all switches in the fabric that contain IPS ports.

  1. Choose enable from the Command column for each switch that you want to enable iSCSI on.
  2. Click the Apply Changes icon to save these changes.
  3. Caution    

    When you disable this feature, all related configurations are automatically discarded.
