TPD_iSCSIConnection

TPD_iSCSINode

Description

An Ethernet Port residing on the TPD_StorageSystem.

Represents the SCSI view of ports as seen by SCSI initiators.

Provides information about the iSCSI capabilities of an HP

3PAR Storage System.

Provides information about iSCSI Sessions, which are established between an initiator port and a target port.

Provides information about session-wide operational properties, which are used during negotiation when creating new iSCSI Sessions.

Provides information about the negotiated values for an iSCSI connection.

The iSCSI Node represents a single iSCSI Target. Each iSCSI port has one instance of TPD_iSCSINode that can also be used for Masking and Mapping purpose.

Supported Methods

Table 88 (page 97)

describes the supported methods of the iSCSI target ports subprofile:

Method modifyInstance()

Description

Provides the ability to set owner and contact information for the StorageSystem.

Distinction between iSCSI and iSCSI over CNA Port

iSCSI port configured on a CNA card behaves in the same manner as a regular iSCSI target port, but the only difference is that the corresponding TPD_EthernetPort.PortType property for the former has a value of 105 (10GBase-SR) while that for the latter has a value of 53 (1000BaseT).
