Explanation:

iSCSI Name

A unique worldwide iSCSI identifier, known as an iSCSI name, is used to identify the initiators and
targets within an iSCSI network to facilitate communication. The unique identifier can be a
combination of the names of the department, application, or manufacturer, serial number, asset
number, or any tag that can be used to recognize and manage the devices. Following are two
types of iSCSI names commonly used:
• iSCSI Qualified Name (IQN): An organization must own a registered domain name to generate
iSCSI Qualified Names. This domain name does not need 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 included in the name to avoid potential conflicts caused by the
transfer of domain names. 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 other device identifiers. An
iSCSI Qualified Name enables storage administrators to assign meaningful names to iSCSI
devices, and therefore, manage those devices more easily.
• Extended Unique Identifier (EUI): An EUI is a globally unique identifier based on the IEEE EUI-
64 naming standard. An EUI is composed of the eui prefix followed by a 16-character exadecimal
name, such as eui.0300732A32598D26.
In either format, the allowed special characters are dots, dashes, and blank spaces.
