Create an iSCSI Initiator Group

To create an iSCSI initiator group, you must know either the iSCSI Qualified Name (IQN) or IP address, or both, for each initiator you want to add to the initiator group.

NOTE: When you create an iSCSI initiator group in a group that has multi-protocol access (both iSCSI and Fibre Channel) configured, you must specify the --access_protocol. If you do not, the access protocol for the initiator is set to fc by default.

Create an iSCSI initiator group.
initiatorgrp --create initiatorgrp_name [--description text] [--access_protocol iscsi] [--host_type host_type]
Add an initiator to the initiator group.
initiatorgrp --add_initiators initiatorgrp_name [--label label] [--initiator_name iqn] [--ipaddr ipaddr] [--initiator_alias alias]
NOTE: If you cannot copy and paste the IQN, type it in very carefully.
Add an iSCSI target subnet.
initiatorgrp --add_subnets initiatorgrp_name [--label subnet_label]
(Optional) Verify your iSCSI initiator group configuration.
initiatorgrp --info initiatorgrp_name
