About iSLB Initiators
iSLB initiators provide the following features in addition to those supported by iSCSI initiators:
• An iSLB initiator also supports iSLB virtual targets. These targets are very similar to iSCSI virtual
targets with the exception that they do not include the advertise interface option and as a result are
distributable using CFS.
• Initiator targets–—These targets are configured for a particular initiator.
• Load balancing using iSCSI login redirect and VRRP—If load balancing is enabled, the IPS
Manager redirects incoming sessions to the best interface based on the calculated load for each
interface.
• Configuration distribution to other switches using CFS.
