Displaying iSCSI Virtual Targets

Use the show iscsi virtual-target to display information about the Fibre Channel targets exported as
iSCSI virtual targets to the iSCSI initiators. The output includes static as well as dynamic targets. See
Example
Example 4-15 Displays Exported Targets
switch# show iscsi virtual-target
target: VT1
* Port WWN 21:00:00:20:37:62:c0:0c
target: VT2
target: iqn.1987-05.com.cisco:05.switch.04-01.2100002037a6be32

Displaying iSCSI User Information

The show user-account iscsi command displays all configured iSCSI user names. See
Example 4-16 Displays iSCSI User Names
switch# show user-account iscsi
username:iscsiuser
secret: dsfffsffsffasffsdffg
username:user2
secret:cshadhdhsadadjajdjas

Configuring iSLB

The iSCSI server load balancing (iSLB) feature provides a means to easily configure large scale iSCSI
deployments containing hundreds or even thousands of initiators. When not using iSLB, configuring
iSCSI requires the following:
•
OL-19525-01,Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 4.2(1)
Port WWN is 22:0a:00:05:30:00:10:e1
Port WWN is 22:0b:00:05:30:00:10:e1
User Name for Mutual CHAP: testuser

Configured node
all initiator permit is enabled
Port WWN 21:00:00:04:cf:4c:52:c1
Configured node
all initiator permit is disabled
Port WWN 21:00:00:20:37:a6:be:32 , VSAN 1
Auto-created node
You need to perform multiple configuration steps on the MDS switch, including the following:
– Initiator configuration using static pWWN and VSAN.
Zoning configuration for initiators and targets.
–
Optional create virtual target and give access to the initiator.
