Select Specify Configuration, and type the IPv4 address to activate the target discovery.

Type the iSNS server IP address in the IPv6 settings area to activate the target discovery.

After you manually enter an IP address, you can also click Advanced to configure the customized TCP listening ports.

If you do not want to allow discovery sessions that are not named, select the Disallow un-named discovery sessions.

NOTE: Un-named discovery sessions are discovery sessions that are permitted to run without a target name. With an un-named discovery session, the target name or the target portal group tag is not available to enforce the iSCSI session identifier (ISID) rule.

5Click OK.

Configuring the iSCSI Host Ports

The default method for configuring the iSCSI host ports, for IPv4 addressing, is DHCP. Always use this method unless your network does not have a DHCP server. It is advisable to assign static DHCP addresses to the iSCSI ports to ensure continuous connectivity. For IPv6 addressing, the default method is Stateless auto-configuration. Always use this method for IPv6.

To configure the iSCSI host ports:

1In the AMW, select the Setup tab.

2Select Configure iSCSI Host Ports.

The Configure iSCSI Host Ports window is displayed.

3In the iSCSI host port list, select an appropriate RAID controller module and an iSCSI host port.

The connection status between the storage array and the host appears in the Status area when you select an iSCSI host port. The connection status is either connected or disconnected. Additionally, the media access control address (MAC) of the selected iSCSI host port appears in the MAC address area.

NOTE: For each iSCSI host port, you can use either IPv4 settings or IPv6 settings or both.

Configuration: Using iSCSI
