Create Identity Pool - iSCSI

You can configure the required number of iSCSI MAC addresses in the iSCSI tab.

NOTE: The iSCSI attributes are applied only when the DHCP option for iSCSI Initiator is disabled in the source template.

Include iSCSI MAC Addresses
Select the check box to add the iSCSI MAC addresses to the identity pool.
Starting MAC Address
Enter the starting MAC address of the identity pool in one of the following formats:
  • AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FFAA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF
  • AA-BB-CC-DD-EE-FFAA-BB-CC-DD-EE-FF
  • AABB.CCDD.EEFFAABB.CCDD.EEFF

The maximum length of a MAC address is 50 characters. This option is displayed only if the Include iSCSI MAC Addresses check box is selected.

Number of iSCSI MAC addresses
Enter the number of iSCSI MAC addresses. The MAC address can be between 1 and 5000. This option is displayed only if the Include iSCSI MAC Addresses check box is selected.
Configure iSCSI Initiator
Select the check box to configure the iSCSI initiator. This option is displayed only if the Include iSCSI MAC Addresses check box is selected.
IQN Prefix
Enter the IQN prefix of iSCSI identity pool. The length of the IQN prefix is a maximum of 200 characters. The system generates the pool of IQN addresses automatically by appending the generated number to the prefix. For example: <IQN Prefix>.<number> <IQN Prefix>.<number>

This option is displayed only if the Configure iSCSI Initiator check box is selected.

NOTE: The IQN configured with identity pools is not deployed on the target system if the boot mode is "BIOS".

NOTE: If the iSCSI initiator name is displayed in a separate line in the Identity Pools > Usage > iSCSI IQN field, then, it indicates that the iSCSI IQN is enabled only on that NIC partition.

Enable iSCSI Initiator IP Pool
Select the check box to configure a pool of iSCSI initiator identities. This option is displayed only if the Include iSCSI MAC Addresses check box is selected.

Enter the IP address range for the iSCSI initiator pool in one of the following formats:
  • A.B.C.D - W.X.Y.Z A.B.C.D - W.X.Y.Z
  • A.B.C.D/E A.B.C.D/E

Select the subnet mask address of the iSCSI pool from the drop-down.
Gateway
Enter the gateway address of the iSCSI pool.
