Reset iSCSI IP Address

Description

This command resets the IP address for the remote storage array to re-establish connection with the local storage array. You can use this command to notify the local storage array that the iSCSI IP address of the remote storage array have changed and need to be updated.

When establishing an remote replication relationship with an iSCSI connection, both storage arrays store a record of the IP address of the remote storage array of the remote replication configuration. If the IP address of an iSCSI port changes, the remote storage array that is attempting to use that port encounters a communication error.

The storage array with the changed IP address sends a message to each remote storage array associated with the remote replication groups that are configured to replicate over an iSCSI connection. Storage arrays that receive this message automatically update their remote-target IP address.

If the storage array with the changed IP address is unable to send its inter-RAID controller module message to a remote storage array, the system sends you an alert of the connectivity issue. Use the reset command to re-establish connection with the local storage array.

Syntax

reset (remoteStorageArrayName="
                                 storageArrayName" | remoteStorageArrayWwid=<
                                 wwID>)
                                 iscsiIpAddress

Parameters

Parameter	Description
`remoteStorageArrayName`	The name for the remote storage array for which you are resetting the iSCSI IP address. Enclose the storage array name in double quotation marks (" ").
`remoteStorageArrayNameWwid`	The World Wide Identifier (WWID) of the storage array for which you are resetting the iSCSI IP address. You can use the WWID instead of the storage array name to identify the storage array. Enclose the WWID in angle brackets (< >).
