CAUTION:

The initiator name (host NQN) of the compute node to be registered with VSP One SDS Block must be unique in the system. Verify it before registration.

  • Required role: Storage

  • When registering initiators to a VPS: Scope of the VPS

  • The information about the applicable compute node must be registered beforehand.

  1. Operate the compute node to verify the initiator name (host NQN) of the applicable compute node.

    For details, see the relevant documentation (such as that for the OS used on the compute node).

  2. Verify that the initiator name (host NQN) verified in step 1 is not the same as the initiator name of another compute node.

    If they are the same, change the initiator name (host NQN).

  3. When registering initiators to a VPS, verify the VPS ID and conditions set for the VPS (upper limit for the number of initiators).

    If you want to specify a VPS by its name in the CLI, verify the VPS name.

    REST API: GET /v1/objects/virtual-private-storages

    CLI: vps_list

  4. Verify the ID of the intended compute node.

    If you use the CLI, you can specify nicknames instead of compute node IDs.

    REST API: GET /v1/objects/servers

    CLI: server_list

  5. Register information about the intended initiator.

    Run either of the following commands with the ID of the compute node, connection protocol for the initiator, and host NQN of the initiator.

    If you use the CLI, you can specify nicknames instead of compute node IDs.

    REST API: POST /v1/objects/servers/<id>/hbas

    CLI: hba_create

    Verify the job ID that is displayed after the command is run.

  6. Verify the state of the job.

    Run either of the following commands with the job ID specified.

    REST API: GET /v1/objects/jobs/<jobId>

    CLI: job_show

    After running the command, if you receive a response indicating "Succeeded" as the state, the job is completed.

  7. Obtain a list of information about initiators and verify that the information about the intended initiator is registered.

    Run either of the following commands with the compute node ID specified.

    If you use the CLI, you can specify nicknames instead of compute node IDs.

    REST API: GET /v1/objects/servers/<id>/hbas

    CLI: hba_list

  8. Back up the configuration information.

    To do so, see Backing up the configuration information (Bare metal).

    Note that, if you wish to continue with other procedures, you must back up the configuration information after you have completed all operations.
