Reviewing How Targets (REO Devices) and
Initiators are Associated
After you have named the targets and initiators (described later in this chapter), you must assign them to each other in pairs. This must be performed both on the REO Appliance by using the REO Appliance software console and on the application or backup server by using the iSCSI initiator management tools. The following illustrations demonstrate how this should be accomplished in an iSCSI configuration using the Microsoft iSCSI initiator.
1Match the Data Port IP address on the REO Appliance to the target address on the backup server.
For example, if Data Port 1 on the REO Appliance is assigned an IP address of 10.10.50.42, the IP address on the REO Appliance Network Configuration page must match the target address on the iSCSI configuration tool screens (you must launch the iSCSI configuration tool to obtain this information) for the backup server you are configuring.
(To access the Add Target Portal dialog box, click Add on the Target Portals tab in the iSCSI Initiator Properties dialog box.)
(To access this dialog box,
Microsoft iSCSI Initiator icon on your desktop.)
Note: The preceding example illustrates using the Microsoft iSCSI
Configuration Tool.
