Configuring the iSCSI Initiator without iSNS

On the cluster node:

1Open 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 one of the following options to discover the iSCSI target ports on the connected storage systems:

Discover iSCSI targets on this subnet - Scans the current subnet for all connected iSCSI storage-system targets. The utility scans the subnet in the range from 1 to 255.

If CHAP authentication is enabled on all target ports on a storage system, you cannot discover the iSCSI target ports using a subnet scan. You must discover the targets using the target portal.

Discover iSCSI targets for this target portal - Discovers targets known to the specified iSCSI SP data port.

5Click Next.

6For each target you want to log in to:

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 Also login to peer iSCSI target for High Availability

(recommended) in step b, leave the Server Network Adapter IP set to Default to allow 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.
