The SD tool will add the following iSCSI references to an HP-UX host configuration:

  • iscsial

    The iscsial statement in the /stand/system file results in the inclusion of the iSCSI adaptation layer in the kernel build. The adaptation layer is required for any iSCSI operation to be executed.

  • iscsi

    The iscsi statement in the /stand/system file results in the inclusion of the iSCSI transport layer in the kernel build. The iSCSI transport layer is required for any iSCSI operation to be executed.

  • isw

    The isw statement in the /stand/system file results in inclusion of the iSCSI Software Interface Driver in the kernel build, and execution of the iswd daemon during system startup.

NOTE: After the /stand/system file has been updated and the iSCSI Software Initiator has been successfully installed on the system, the kernel will be rebuilt and the system will be rebooted by the SD tool. The iSCSI Software Initiator defines no kernel tunable variables.
