Chapter 6. Basic Volume and Host Configuration 

Draft Document for Review January 29, 2013 12:52 pm

The process of creating a iSCSI attached host is almost similar to creating a FC-attached 
host as shown in 6.2.1, “Create a Fibre Channel attached host” on page 256. The only 
difference is that instead of configuring the new host with WWN’s from our host we instead 
configure an iSCSI initiator name. The iSCSI initiator name is obtained from the iSCSI initiator 
software installed on the host computer and represents a unique - however changeable iSCSI 
address of our host on the network.

To create the iSCSI host do the following:

1. As described in 6.2.1, “Create a Fibre Channel attached host” on page 256 navigate to 

Hosts and click New Host. 

2. Select iSCSI host

3. At the Create Host windows type a name for the new host

4. Insert the iSCSI initiator name which you copied from the hosts iSCSI initiator software.

Figure 6-28 on page 260 shows that we pasted in the iSCSI name of the new host.
