iSCSI and HP-UX
iSCSI is an Internet Protocol (IP)-based storage networking standard for linking data storage facilities. By
carrying SCSI commands over IP networks, iSCSI is used to facilitate data transfers over Intranets and to
manage storage over long distances. iSCSI can be used to transmit data over local area networks
(LANs), wide area networks (WANs), or the Internet and can enable location-independent data storage
and retrieval.
Assumptions
iSCSI ports are setup and configured on the Dell Compellent Storage Center
iSCSI LAN HBAs have an assigned IP address
The HP-UX iSCSI initiator software is downloaded and installed for your specific version of HP-
UX
Any relevant HP-UX iSCSI patches are applied
Setup
In order to validate that you have the proper software installed, run the command.
Type: swlist –l bundle | grep iSCSI
iSCSI-00 B.11.23.03f HP-UX iSCSI Software Initiator
Having validated the software installation, we now validate that the necessary processes (required for
iSCSI to function, shown in RED) are running as well. Issue the command.
Type: ps –ef | grep iscsi
root 1387 1 0 12:32:26 ? 0:00 /opt/iscsi/bin/iswd
root 1385 1 0 12:32:26 ? 0:00 /opt/iscsi/bin/iscsi_resolvd
root 2706 1 0 12:36:19 ? 0:00 /usr/sbin/stm/uut/bin/tools/monitor/dm_iscsi_adapter
root 3208 2178 0 12:37:11 console 0:00 grep iscsi
In order to setup an iSCSI connection to the Dell Compellent Storage Center, we need to capture the
iSCSI Qualified Name (iqn) from our host. Issue the following command to discover the iqn that was
system (automatically) generated.
Type: /opt/iscsi/bin/iscsiutil -l
Initiator Name : iqn.1986-03.com.hp:rx3600.1ab0bf92-18a9-11dd-af0f-3b63380fc243
