Hints for Defining a Meaningful Alias
You can use the iSCSI alias in a text string as an additional descriptive name for a target.
An alias is a descriptive name that you can assign to a target that is independent of the name and that does not have to be
unique. Do not use an alias to specify a target when logging on or during authentication.
Use these methods to create a meaningful target alias or initiator user label:
- Limit an alias to 30 characters.
- Use common language and simple terms when you create an alias.
- Use items, such as location, server name, department name, and company name, to identify the target alias or the initiator
alias.
- Create a matrix for alias permissions to be shared between the target and the initiator, for ease of use when you look up
a specified target alias or initiator alias.
