Enabling iSCSI

To use the iSCSI feature, you must explicitly enable iSCSI on the required switches in the fabric. 
Alternatively, you can enable or disable the iSCSI feature directly on the required modules using Cisco 
DCNM for SAN or Device Manager. By default, this feature is disabled in all switches in the Cisco MDS 
9000 Family.
