Step 3: Perform Target Discovery From the iSCSI Initiator

This step identifies the iSCSI ports on the storage array to the host server. Select the set of steps in one of the following sections (Microsoft Windows or Linux) that corresponds to your operating system.

If you are using Microsoft Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008 GUI version:

1Click StartProgramsMicrosoft iSCSI Initiator or click StartAll ProgramsAdministrative ToolsiSCSI Initiator.

2Click the Discovery tab.

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

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

5Click 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 Storage Area Network (SAN) that has target CHAP already configured.

NOTE: IPSec is not supported.

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

7To 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" on page 61.
