HP P4000 lefthand storage on HP-UX 11.31

Just did a implementation. Here is a brief summary.

1. check software iscsi installed

#swlist iSCSI-00

2. use iscsiutil -l to get the name of your initiator

3. present volumes to your initiator (better copy/paste to avoid typo!) ) on your  lefthand CMC

run ioscan

4. use iscsiutil – a -I IP_P4000_Target -M  to add target

5. run ioscan and insf, you should be able to see the new disks.

to see all the target found, use iscsiutil -pD

in case you have to change authentication method, use

iscsiutil -t authmethod None/CHAP

Multi-pathing: I couldn’t find any information on multi-pathing so I just used APA to team the NICs for iSCSI , tested by unplugging cables. It works.
