Dell Equallogic Microsoft Iscsi Initiator
You are here: Connecting Initiators to iSCSI Targets Connecting Initiators to iSCSI Targets To access iSCSI targets (volumes and snapshots) in a PS Series group, you must install an industry-standard iSCSI initiator on a computer. Both hardware and software iSCSI initiators are available from a variety of vendors. Install and configure an initiator using the vendor-supplied instructions.
Connecting Initiators to iSCSI Targets. See the Dell EqualLogic PS Series Storage Arrays iSCSI Initiator and Operating System Considerations document for more.
See the Dell EqualLogic PS Series Storage Arrays iSCSI Initiator and Operating System Considerations document for more information about iSCSI initiator configuration, or contact your EqualLogic support provider. Note: Access to iSCSI targets is through TCP port 3260 (the standard iSCSI port). See your initiator documentation for the exact procedure for logging in to an iSCSI target. The general login overview is: 1.
Specify the group IP address as the discovery address or target portal in the iSCSI initiator configuration interface. If you are using iSNS, the initiator automatically discovers targets from the iSNS server that you configured in the group. The initiator displays a list of iSCSI targets from the group. Log in to a target.
The initiator must match at least one of the target’s access control records. As part of the login procedure, you might need to enter a CHAP user name and password (secret) and target authentication credentials.
Microsoft Iscsi Software Target
After the initiator logs in to the iSCSI target, the computer sees the target as a disk that you can format using the usual operating system utilities. You can then partition the disk and create a file system, as needed. Note: In some file systems, volumes and snapshots must have read-write permission even if the file system is read-only.
