fc srp initiator
fc srp initiator
To configure an initiator—normally a SAN-attached host but in IB terms a SRP host combined with a
Server Switch—to communicate with a Fibre Channel SAN across a Fibre Channel gateway on your
Server Switch, enter the
fc srp initiator
command in Global Configuration mode. To deny SAN access
to the SRP host, to delete an initiator from the running configuration, or to reconfigure the description
of the initiator to an empty string, use the
no
form of this command.

Syntax Description guid Global unique identifier (GUID) of the SRP host.
Note The GUID of your SRP host appears printed on the HCA in your
server, and you can use host driver utilities to view the GUID. For
more information, refer to the Host Channel Adapter Installation
Guide.
extension GUID extension of the SRP host.
auto-bind
1. Creates the initiator entry in the configuration file and binds the host to
a world-wide node name (WWNN) that your Server Switch generates
internally to uniquely identify the host.
2. Creates virtual ports for this initiator on every possible physical FC
gateway port on your Server Switch. FC devices use these virtual ports
to communicate with the initiator.
bootup Configures the SRP host to boot from a Fibre Channel logical unit (LU).
target Specifies the world-wide port name (WWPN) of the port of the FC storage
device that stores image that you want the initiator to boot.
target-wwpn WWPN of the port of the FC storage device that stores image that you want
the initiator to boot.
lu Specifies the logical unit (LU) that stores image that you want the initiator
to boot.
logical-unit Logical ID of the LU that stores image that you want the initiator to boot.
description (Optional) Assigns an alphanumeric ASCII description string to the
initiator.
descr Alphanumeric ASCII description string to assign to the initiator.
discover-itl Discovers initiator-target-LUN (ITL) combinations and adds them to your
configuration file. Targets refer to SAN storage devices, and LUNs refer to
the logical units within SAN storage devices.
pkey Assigns a partition key (P_key) to the initiator.
Note Your Server Switch does not currently support partition keys for
SRP.
pkey-value 16-bit partition key to assign to the initiator. Assign multiple partition keys
by appending a colon, then the next key (aa:aa:bb:bb:cc:cc:dd:dd).
