•If you do not plan to configure CHAP authentication, repeat step 1 thorough step 6 for all iSCSI ports on the storage array.
If you are using Windows Server 2008 Core Version:
1Set the iSCSI initiator service to start automatically:
sc \\<server_name> config msiscsi start=auto
2Start the iSCSI service: sc start msiscsi
3Add a target portal:
iscsicli QAddTargetPortal
<IP_address_of_iSCSI_port_on_storage array>
If you are using Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10, or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 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 MDSM. 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 media:
1Make a copy of the default /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf file by saving it to another directory of your choice.
2Edit 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
d Save and close the /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf file.
3From the console, restart the iSCSI service with the following command: service iscsi start
4Verify that the iSCSI service is running during boot using the following command from the console:
chkconfig iscsi on
