IQN no of Linux Server (/etc/initiatorname.iscsi file)
Each iSCSI device on the network, be it initiator or target, has a unique iSCSI node name. Red Hat uses the iSCSI Qualified Name (IQN) format with the initiator that ships with Red Hat Enterprise Linux. In the IQN format, a node name consists of a predefined section, chosen based on the initiator manufacturer, and a unique device name section which is editable by the administrator.
Provide this IQN number to your IPSAN Administrator he will create and assign LUN to this IQN
