Configure the iSCSI interface in slot 7 port 5 to identify all dynamic iSCSI initiators by node name and
Step 6
enable the interface.
switch(config)# int iscsi 7/5
switch(config-if)# switchport initiator id name
switch(config-if)# no shut

Create a zone named iscsi-zone-1 with host 1 and one Fibre Channel target in it.
Step 8
Note
switch(config)# zone name iscsi-zone-1 vsan 1
switch(config-zone)# member pwwn 21:00:00:20:37:6f:fd:97
switch(config-zone)# member ip-address 10.11.1.10
Step 9
Create a zone named iscsi-zone-2 with host 2 and two Fibre Channel targets in it.
Note
switch(config)# zone name iscsi-zone-2 vsan 1
switch(config-zone)# member pwwn 21:00:00:20:37:6f:fe:54
switch(config-zone)# member pwwn 21:00:00:20:37:a6:a6:5d
switch(config-zone)# member symbolic-nodename iqn.1987-05.com.cisco:01.25589167f74c
Create a zone set and add the two zones as members.
Step 10
switch(config)# zoneset name zoneset-iscsi vsan 1
switch(config-zoneset)# member iscsi-zone-1
switch(config-zoneset)# member iscsi-zone-2
Activate the zone set.
Step 11
switch(config)# zoneset activate name zoneset-iscsi vsan 1

Use the IP address of the host in zone membership configuration because the iSCSI interface is
configured to identify all hosts based on IP address.
Use the symbolic node name of the iSCSI host in zone membership configuration because the
iSCSI interface is configured to identify all hosts based on node name.
