Appendix A Configuring iSCSI on the Sun StorageTek 2510 Array 103
Adding Initiator Information
After creating an initiator on a data host, you need to add information about the
initiator to the management software.
Selecting Create New Initiator launches a wizard.
Add the following information:
■ Initiator Name - can be up to 30 characters. Valid characters are 'A-Z', 'a-z', '0-9',
hyphen('-') and underscore('_').
■ Unique Identifier - enter the IQN of the iSCSI initiators found on the data host
(See Step 2A on page 95). The identifier is used like a WWN in FC storage.
(The identifier can also be in EUI or NAA format. See the online help for the
syntax of these formats.)
IQN syntax example: iqn.2001-04.com.example:storage:diskarrays-sn-
a8675309:
■ iqn - specifies the type of address
■ 2001-04 - the date in yyyy-mm format
■ com.example:storage - the naming authority
■ diskarrays-sn-a8675309 - is the string defined by the naming authority.
■ Host type - specifies the OS and failover method of the data host.
