Step 9. Presenting LUNs to iSCSI Initiators

Copy the FC WWPN (World Wide Port Names) for both FC Ports.You will need these names to present LUNS from your Storage subsystem.

FC 1 WWPN

FC 2 WWPN

If you have an NTP server, enable the NTP Server and enter the NTP Server information. This is located in the GUI Screen on the Information tab when router is selected in the System Tree view.

Step 9. Presenting LUNs to iSCSI Initiators

1.If SANbox 6140 is connected in the FC fabric, please make sure the FC fabric zoning is set such that FC array ports and SANbox FC ports are in the same zone.

2.Using array management Software, please create all LUNs you want to present to all iSCSI initiators through this SANbox 6140. Present the LUNs from FC array to SANbox 6140 using WWPNs of this SANbox 6140. If you are setting up a High Availability configuration where two SANBox 6140s are used as a pair, please present the LUNs to both SANbox 6140s using FC WWPNs of both SANbox 6140s.

3.Creating iSCSI initiator list in SANbox 6140:

There are two ways to create the iSCSI initiator list in SANbox 6140.

a.Enter the iSCSI initiator name using “Add Initiator Wizard”. You will be asked to enter the iSCSI name of an initiator.

OR

b.From the Server with iSCSI Initiators, run discovery session for the iSCSI Port IP address of the SANbox 6140. This will automatically register the iSCSI Initiator names with SANbox 6140. Running iSCSI discovery session on a different OS environments is different. The example below illustrates how to run iSCSI discovery session on Windows Server.

Running discovery session on Windows Platform:

Install an iSCSI initiator on your server. This can either be a dedicated iSCSI HBA or a software initiator for Windows like the one available from www.microsoft.com.

Invoke the software initiator, and then specify the IP address of the iSCSI port on your SANbox 6140. When you select the “Targets” tab you should see a display similar to the following:
