Configuring iSCSI

S e n d d o c u m e n t a t i o n c o m m e n t s t o m d s f e e d b a c k - d o c @ c i s c o . c o m .

When an initiator is configured in any other VSAN (other than VSAN 1), for example VSAN 2, the

initiator is automatically removed from VSAN 1. If you also want it to be present in VSAN 1, you must

explicitly configure the initiator in VSAN 1.

VSAN Membership for iSCSI Interfaces

VSAN membership can be configured for an iSCSI interface, called the port VSAN. All the iSCSI

devices that connect to this interface automatically become members of this VSAN, if it is not explicitly

configured in a VSAN. In other words, the port VSAN of an iSCSI interface is the default VSAN for all

dynamic iSCSI initiators. The default port VSAN of an iSCSI interface is VSAN 1.

This feature was introduced in Cisco SAN-OS Release 1.3(1). If you downgrade to an earlier release, be

sure to delete any assigned VSAN and to issue the no iscsi interface vsan-membership command

before performing the downgrade procedure.

To change the default port VSAN, follow these steps:

switch# config t

switch(config)#

switch(config)# iscsi interface

vsan-membership

switch(config)# vsan database

switch(config-vsan-db)#

switch(config-vsan-db)# vsan 2

interface iscsi 2/1

switch(config-vsan-db)# no vsan 2

interface iscsi 2/1
