Chapter 4: V-Switch Configuration 4-19
Configuring iSCSI Portals
Do not create an
iSCSI portal on the
management IP
address.
The V-Switch
supports a maximum
of 100 portals.
To enable communication between iSCSI initiators and iSCSI targets you
need to assign a portal to the iSCSI protocol transport. Use the CLI
command iscsi portal create to create an iSCSI portal. A portal is
the coupling of an IP address and a TCP port. Once created, a portal is
opened automatically during a communication session. If you are
working in a V-Switch cluster, each portal must be created on both V-
Switches in the V-Switch cluster. For more information on V-Switch
clusters, see “
Introduction to V-Switch Clusters ”.

You need to define two parameters to configure an iSCSI portal:

Example:
An iSCSI portal is created using the default TCP port 3260 for the IP address
212.199.43.66.
