Configuring the HBA Port iSCSI Name and HBA Port iSCSI Alias Name

You can modify the existing HBA port iSCSI name. You can also assign an HBA port iSCSI alias name.

Modifying the HBA Port iSCSI Name

We recommend that you use the default HBA port iSCSI name as defined by QLogic manufacturing unless your system requires that you change the name.

NOTE: If you modify the default HBA port iSCSI name, you cannot reset the name back to the original default value. Therefore, write down the default HBA port iSCSI name before changing it.

To modify the HBA port iSCSI name, do the following:

1. In the SANsurfer iSCSI HBA Manager main window HBA tree, select the HBA port. Click the HBA Options tab. The HBA Options tabbed page (Network tab) displays (see Configuring the QLAxxx HBA Port).
2. Enter the HBA port iSCSI name in the HBA iSCSI Name box. You do not have to press ENTER after typing the name.

Assigning the HBA Port iSCSI Alias Name

The HBA port iSCSI alias name is a symbolic name that you can assign to the HBA port for identification purposes.

To assign or modify the HBA port iSCSI alias name, do the following:
