Step 4 Fill in the pWWN field with the initiator target pWWN.
Step 5 (Optional) Set the Name field to a globally unique identifier (IQN).
Step 6 (Optional) Check the NoAutoZoneCreation check box to disable auto-zoning (see Figure 50-31). See
the “Configuring and Activating Zones for iSLB Initiators and Initiator Targets” section on page 50-42.
Step 7 (Optional) Check the TresspassMode check box. See the “LUN Trespass for Storage Port Failover”
section on page 50-53.
Step 8 (Optional) Check the RevertToPrimary check box to revert back to the primary port after an HA
failover when the primary port comes back up.
Step 9 Set the PrimaryVsan to the VSAN for the iSLB initiator target.
Step 10 Click Create to create this iSLB initiator target.
Step 11 If CFS is enabled, select commit from the CFS drop-down menu.
Configuring and Activating Zones for iSLB Initiators and Initiator Targets
You can configure a zone name where the iSLB initiators and initiator targets are added. If you do not
specify a zone name, the IPS manager creates one dynamically. iSLB zone sets have the following
considerations:
• Auto-zoning of the initiator with the initiator targets is enabled by default.
• A zone set must be active in a VSAN for auto-zones to be created in that VSAN.
• iSLB zone set activation might fail if another zone set activation is in process or if the zoning
database is locked. Retry the iSLB zone set activation if a failure occurs. To avoid this problem, only
perform only one zoning related operation (normal zones, IVR zones, or iSLB zones) at a time.
• Auto-zones are created when the zone set is activated and there has been at least one change in the
zoneset. The activation has no effect if only the auto-zones have changed.
Caution If IVR and iSLB are enabled in the same fabric, at least one switch in the fabric must have both features
enabled. Any zoning related configuration or activation operation (for normal zones, IVR zones, or iSLB
zones) must be performed on this switch. Otherwise, traffic might be disrupted in the fabric.
