3.Under Target Portals, click Add and enter the IP address or DNS name of the iSCSI port on the storage array.

4.If the iSCSI storage array uses a custom TCP port, change the Port number. The default is 3260.

5.Click Advanced and set the following values on the General tab:

Local Adapter — Must be set to Microsoft iSCSI Initiator.

Source IP — The source IP address of the host you want to connect with.

Data Digest and Header Digest — Optionally, you can specify that a digest of data or header information be compiled during transmission to assist in troubleshooting.

CHAP logon information — Leave this option unselected and do not enter CHAP information at this point, unless you are adding the storage array to a SAN that has target CHAP already configured.

NOTE: IPSec is not supported.

6.Click OK to exit the Advanced menu and click OK again to exit the Add Target Portals screen.

7.To exit the Discovery tab, click OK.

If you plan to configure CHAP authentication, do not perform discovery on more than one iSCSI port at this point. Go to Step 4: Configure Host Access.

If you do not plan to configure CHAP authentication, repeat step 1 thorough step 6 for all iSCSI ports on the storage array.

For Windows Server 2008 Core Version

1.Set the iSCSI initiator service to start automatically:

sc \\<server_name> config msiscsi start= auto

2.Start the iSCSI service: sc start msiscsi

3.Add a target portal:

iscsicli QAddTargetPortal

<IP_address_of_iSCSI_port_on_storage array>

For Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Or 6, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 Or 11

Configuration of the iSCSI initiator for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP1 distributions is done by modifying the /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf file, which is installed by default when you install MD Storage Manager. You can edit the file directly, or replace the default file with a sample file included on the PowerVault MD series resource media.

To use the sample file included on the resource media:

1.Save the default /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf file by naming it to another name of your choice.

2.Copy the appropriate sample file from /linux/etc on the media to /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf.

3.Rename the sample file to iscsid.conf.

4.Edit the following entries in the /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf file:

a)Edit or verify that the node.startup = manual line is disabled.

b)Edit or verify that the node.startup = automatic line is enabled. This enables automatic startup of the service at boot time.

c)Verify that the following time-out value is set to 30 by running the following command: node.session.timeo.replacement_timeout = 30
