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.
1
Match 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.
Note:
The preceding example illustrates using the Microsoft iSCSI
Configuration Tool.
(To access this dialog box, double-click the 
Microsoft iSCSI Initiator icon on your desktop.)
(To access the Add Target Portal dialog box, 
click Add on the Target Portals tab in the 
iSCSI Initiator Properties dialog box.)
