Iscsi name

-----------------------

A unique worldwide iSCSI identifier, known as an iSCSI name, is used to name the initiators and targets within an iSCSI network to facilitate communication. the unique identifier can be a combination of Department, application, manufacturer name, serial number, asset number, or any tag that can be used to recognize and manage a storage resource.

 

There are two types of iSCSI names:

Iscsi qualified name (iqn ):

An organization must own a registered domain name in order to generate iSCSI qualified names.

This domain name does not have to be active or resolve to an address. it just needs to be reserved to prevent other organizations from using the same domain name to generate iSCSI names. A date is wrongly ded in the name to avoid potential conflicts caused by transfer of domain names; the organization is required to have owned the domain name on that date. an example of an iqn is

Iqn.2008-02.com. Example: optional_string

The optional_string provides a serial number, an asset number, or any of the storage device identifiers.

 

Extended unique identifier (EUI ):

An Eui is a globally unique identifier based on the IEEE EUI-64 Naming Standard.

An Eui comprises the Eui prefix followed by a 16-character hexadecimal name, such as eui1_300732a32598d26.

The 16-character part of the name provided des 24 bits for the company name assigned by IEEE and 40 bits for a unique ID, such as a serial number.

This allows for a more streamlined, although less user-friendly, name string because the resulting iSCSI name is simply Eui followed by the hexadecimal WWN.
