Command History
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.
Note 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.
Dynamically and statically configured iSCSI initiator configurations are not distributed.
Examples The following example saves the nWWNs and pWWNs that have automatically been assigned to the
iSLB initiator whose name is specified.
switch# config t
switch(config)# islb save-initiator name iqn.1987-02.com.cisco.initiator
The following example saves the nWWNs and pWWNs that have automatically been assigned to the
iSLB initiator whose IPv4 address is specified.
switch(config)# islb save-initiator ip-address 10.10.100.11
