Command History

Usage Guidelines

After executing the iscsi save-initiator command, issue the copy running-config startup-config to save

the nWWN/pWWN mapping across switch reboots.

assigned nWWN/pWWN mapping so this initiator uses the same mapping the next time it logs in.

You can convert a dynamic iSCSI initiator to static iSCSI initiator and make its WWNs persistent.

You cannot convert a dynamic iSCSI initiator to a static iSLB initiator or a dynamic iSLB initiator to a

static iSCSI initiator.

This command is not supported on the Cisco MDS 9124 switch, the Cisco Fabric Switch for HP c-Class
