To permanently save the automatically-assigned nWWN/pWWN mapping, use the iscsi save-initiator
command.
iscsi save-initiator [ip-address ip-address | name name]
Syntax Description
Defaults If initiator name or IP address is not specified, the nWWN/pWWN mapping for all initiators becomes
permanent.
Command Modes Configuration mode.
Command History
Usage Guidelines After executing the iscsi save-initiator command, issue the copy running-config startup-config to save
the nWWN/pWWN mapping across switch reboots.
After a dynamic iSCSI initiator has logged in, you may decide to permanently save the automatically
assigned nWWN/pWWN mapping so this initiator uses the same mapping the next time it logs in.
You can convert a dynamic iSCSI initiator to static iSCSI 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 This command is not supported on the Cisco MDS 9124 switch, the Cisco Fabric Switch for HP c-Class
BladeSystem, and the Cisco Fabric Switch for IBM BladeCenter.
Examples The following example shows how to save the nWWN/pWWN mapping for all the initiators.
switch(config)# iscsi save-initiator
