Configuring iSLB
For more information on load balancing, see the “About Load Balancing Using VRRP” section on
page 50-43.
Choose IP > iSCSI iSLB in Device Manager and set the LoadMetric field to change the load balancing
metric for an iSLB initiator.
See the “Configuring iSLB Using Device Manager” procedure on page 50-37.
Configuring iSLB Initiator Targets
You can configure initiator targets using the device alias or the pWWN. You can also optionally specify
one or more of the following optional parameters:
• Secondary pWWN
• Secondary device alias
• LUN mapping
• IQN
• VSAN identifier
Note The VSAN identifier is optional if the target is online. If the target is not online, the VSAN
identifier is required.
In addition, you can disable auto-zoning.
If you configure an IQN for an initiator target, then that name is used to identify the initiator target.
Otherwise, a unique IQN is generated for the initiator target.
To configure additional iSLB initiator targets using Device Manager, follow these steps:
Step 1 Choose IP > iSCSI iSLB.
You see the iSCSI iSLB dialog box (see Figure 50-30).
Step 2 Click on the initiator you want to add targets to and click Edit Initiator Specific Targets.
You see the Initiator Specific Target dialog box.
Step 3 Click Create to create a new initiator target.
You see the Create Initiator Specific Target dialog box shown in Figure 50-32.
