Usage Guidelines Saving the automatically assigned nWWN/pWWN mapping allows the initiator to use the same mapping
the next time it logs in.
You can convert a dynamic iSLB initiator to a static iSLB initiator and make its WWNs persistent.
Note You cannot convert a dynamic iSCSI initiator to a static iSLB initiator or a dynamic iSLB initiator to a
static iSCSI initiator.
Making the dynamic mapping for iSLB initiators static is the same as for iSCSI.
Note
Only a statically mapped iSLB initiator configuration is distributed throughout the fabric using CFS.
Note
Dynamically and statically configured iSCSI initiator configurations are not distributed.
Examples
