Configuring iSCSI Connections
After the array has been initialized and all needed logical drives have been configured, the iSCSI initiators on
the application servers will need to be configured in order to mount any logical drives that are configured for the
application server. Once configured, the logical drives created during the initialization process can be mounted
by the application server.
If logical drives were not created during the initialization process or additional logical drives and pools are
needed, then refer to the Configuring Logical Disks and Pools section that appears later in this document
before continuing with these steps.
Configuring the iSCSI Initiator in Windows
To configure the iSCSI initiator on a Windows server, ensure that the port IP address that the application server
will connect with has been recorded and that the CHAP secret, if used, has also been recorded.
1. Launch the iSCSI Initiator properties menu by
clicking Start and then iSCSI Initiator.
2. In the iSCSI Initiator Properties window, select
the Targets tab. In the Targets window, select
the appropriate array, and then click Log On.
3. At the Log On to Target window, select the
Automatically restore this connection when
the computer starts option, and then click
Advanced. If you will be using NEC
PathManager for Multipathing, do not select
"Enable multi-path". Otherwise, refer to
Microsoft's documentation for information about
enabling mutlipathing through the Microsoft
iSCSI software initiator.
