To connect to the storage system:

1On the cluster node, open the Navisphere Server Utility.

2Select Configure iSCSI Connections on this cluster node and click Next.

3Select Configure iSCSI Connections and click Next.

4In the iSCSI Targets and Connections window, select Discover iSCSI targets using this iSNS server to send a request to the iSNS server for all connected iSCSI storage-system targets, and click Next.

5For each target you want to log into:

a In the iSCSI Targets window, select the IP address of the Inactive target.

b In the Login Options section, select Also login to peer iSCSI target for High Availability (recommended) if the peer iSCSI target is listed.

c If you selected the Also login to peer iSCSI target for High Availability option (recommended) in step b, leave the Server Network Adapter IP set to Default. This allows the iSCSI initiator to automatically fail over to an available NIC in the event of a failure.

d Click Logon to connect to the selected target.

e If the CHAP authentication is enabled on the target, a CHAP login dialog box is displayed.

Enter the CHAP security information. If you also use mutual CHAP for the software Initiator to authenticate the target, select the Mutual CHAP option and click OK.

6Click Next. If the Network Interfaces (NICs) window is displayed, go to step 7. If the Server Registration window is displayed, go to step 8.

7In the Network Interfaces (NICs) window:

a Deselect any NICs that are used for general network traffic and click Apply. A confirmation dialog is displayed stating that the network settings for your NICs have been updated and you must restart your system to apply them.

b Click OK and then click Next.

8In the Server Registration window, click Next to send the updated information to the storage system.

9Click Finish to close the wizard.
