Changing the iSCSI target identification

You cannot change the iSCSI target name, but you can associate an alias with the target for simpler identification. Aliases are useful because the iSCSI target names are not intuitive. Provide an iSCSI target alias that is meaningful and easy to remember.

1. In the AMW, select the Setup tab.
2. Select Manage iSCSI Settings.
   The Manage iSCSI Settings window is displayed.
3. Select the Target Configuration tab.
4. Type the alias in iSCSI alias.
5. Click OK.
   NOTE: Aliases can contain up to 30 characters. Aliases can include letters, numbers, and the special characters underscore (_), minus (-), and pound sign (#). No other special characters are permitted.

   NOTE: Open iSCSI (which is used by Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 with SP 1) does not support using target alias.
