> # Making the Dynamic iSCSI Initiator WWN Mapping Static

> After a dynamic iSCSI initiator has already logged in, you may decide to permanently keep the automatically 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 (see the "Dynamic Mapping" topic).

> Note You cannot convert a dynamic iSCSI initiator to a static iSLB initiator or a dynamic iSLB initiator to a static iSCSI initiator.

> Note Making the dynamic pWWNs static after the initiator is created is supported only through the CLI, not through Device Manager or Cisco DCNM- SAN. In Cisco DCNM-SAN or Device Manager, you must delete and then recreate this initiator to have the pWWNs static.
