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—If CHAP authentication is required, select this option and enter the Target secret.

Perform mutual authentication—If mutual CHAP authentication is configured, select this option.

NOTE: IPSec is not supported.

To support storage array controller failover, the host server must be connected to at least one iSCSI port on each controller. Repeat step 3 through step 8 for each iSCSI port on the storage array that you want to establish as failover targets. The Target Portal address is different for each port you connected to.

NOTE: To enable the higher throughput of multipathing I/O, the host server must connect to both iSCSI ports on each controller, ideally from separate host-side NICs. Repeat step 3 through step 7 for each iSCSI port on each controller. If using a duplex MD36x0i configuration, then LUNs should also be balanced between the controllers.

The Status field on the Targets tab should now display as Connected.

8Click OK to close the Microsoft iSCSI initiator.

NOTE: PowerVault MD36x0i supports only round-robin load-balancing policies.

If you are using Windows Server 2008 Core Version:

1Set the iSCSI initiator services to start automatically (if not already set): sc \\<server_name> config msiscsi start=auto

2Start the iSCSI service (if necessary): sc start msiscsi

3Log on to the target:

iscsicli PersistentLoginTarget <Target_Name> <Report_To_PNP> <Target_Portal_Address> <TCP_Port_Number_Of_Target_Portal> * * *

<Login_Flags> * * * * * <Username> <Password> <Authtype> * <Mapping_Count>
