Q:
iSCSI naming conventions without FQDN
iSCSI, FQDN, Open source
I'm in the process of creating an iSCSI test environment and have a question regarding the naming conventions. The standard specifies using a FQDN as part of the name.

What have others done when a FQDN was not available or you did not want to use your existing FQDN?

Thank you.

I don't understand why you would not want to use the FQDN (I am assuming you are talking about the initiator node name). Given that you don't, you should at least use the server name and its role or purpose (SQL, FS for File Services, PS for Print services, VM for virtual machine, etc.) to assist in identification of connections to the iSCSI array.

In complex Active Directory implementations, using the FQDN is the only way to insure that you are taking into account where in the forest or federation a given server may reside. That will assist in diagnosing connectivity & authentication issues, firewall rules, etc.
