Dell Configuration Guide for the S4048–ON System 9.14.2.4
Enable and Disable iSCSI Optimization
The following describes enabling and disabling iSCSI optimizaiton.
NOTE iSCSI monitoring is
disabled by default. iSCSI auto-configuration and auto-detection is
enabled by default.
If you enable iSCSI, flow control is automatically enabled on all interfaces. To disable flow control on all interfaces, use the no flow control rx on tx off command and save the configuration. To disable iSCSI optimization, which can turn on flow control again on reboot, use the no iscsi enable command and save the configuration.
When you enable iSCSI on the switch, the following actions
occur:
- Link-level flow control is globally enabled, if it is not already enabled, and PFC is disabled.
- iSCSI session snooping is enabled.
- iSCSI LLDP monitoring starts to automatically detect EqualLogic arrays.
The following message displays when you enable iSCSI on
a switch and describes the configuration changes that are automatically
performed:
%STKUNIT0-M:CP %IFMGR-5-IFM_ISCSI_ENABLE: iSCSI has been enabled causing flow control to be enabled on all interfaces. EQL detection and enabling iscsi profile-compellent on an interface may cause some automatic configurations to occur like jumbo frames on all ports and no storm control and spanning tree port-fast on the port of detection.
You can reconfigure any of the auto-provisioned configuration settings that result when you enable iSCSI on a switch.
When you disable the iSCSI feature, iSCSI resources are released and the detection of EqualLogic arrays using LLDP is disabled. Disabling iSCSI does not remove the MTU, flow control, portfast, or storm control configuration applied as a result of enabling iSCSI.
NOTE By default, CAM allocation
for iSCSI is set to 0. This disables session monitoring.
