 Register with VNX

To export a VNX volume to a Compute node, you must register the node with VNX.

On the Compute node 1.1.1.1, run these commands (assume 10.10.61.35 is the iscsi target):

$ sudo /etc/init.d/open-iscsi start
$ sudo iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p 10.10.61.35
$ cd /etc/iscsi
$ sudo more initiatorname.iscsi
$ iscsiadm -m node

Log in to VNX from the Compute node by using the target corresponding to the SPA port:

$ sudo iscsiadm -m node -T iqn.1992-04.com.emc:cx.apm01234567890.a0 -p 10.10.61.35 -l

Assume iqn.1993-08.org.debian:01:1a2b3c4d5f6g is the initiator name of the Compute node. Log in to Unisphere, go to VNX00000->Hosts->Initiators, refresh and wait until initiator iqn.1993-08.org.debian:01:1a2b3c4d5f6g with SP Port A-8v0 appears.

Click Register, select CLARiiON/VNX, and enter the myhost1 host name and myhost1 IP address. Click Register. Now the 1.1.1.1 host appears under Hosts Host List as well.

Log out of VNX on the Compute node:

$ sudo iscsiadm -m node -u

Log in to VNX from the Compute node using the target corresponding to the SPB port:

$ sudo iscsiadm -m node -T iqn.1992-04.com.emc:cx.apm01234567890.b8 -p 10.10.10.11 -l

In Unisphere, register the initiator with the SPB port.

Log out:

$ sudo iscsiadm -m node -u
