Modify iSCSI Port Parameters
Overview
This function sets the parameters for the iSCSI host interface port that connects between the storage system and the host, or connects between the storage systems for REC.
When changing port parameters during operation, stop access from the server that is allocated to the target port. Host access does not need to be stopped to change the port parameters of newly added CA ports.
Multiple VLAN can be set for ports with "CA" or "CA/RA" as the port mode. For "CA/RA" ports, up to 15 IP addresses can be used as "CA" type ports.
When the Multiple VLAN setting is enabled and the port mode for the relevant iSCSI ports are changed from "CA" or "CA/RA" to "RA", all of the added IP address information is deleted. Refer to the [Modify Port Mode] function for details.
There are three types of port modes for iSCSI ports; CA, RA, and CA/RA. CA is used for connecting to a host, RA is used for REC, and CA/RA is used for both applications. To change the port mode, use the [Modify Port Mode] function. The default value is "CA".
For more details on iSCSI-CA parameter settings, refer to "Configuration Guide -Server Connection-" for each OS type.
iSCSI RA (for older storage system connection) is an iSCSI-RA adapter that is used exclusively for an REC between older models (*1).
