Creating iSCSI targets (when configuring iSCSI environments)

You can connect multiple server hosts on different platforms to one port on the array. When configuring

the system, you must group server hosts connected to the array by iSCSI targets. For example, if HP-UX

and Windows hosts are connected to a port, you must create one iSCSI target for HP-UX hosts and

another iSCSI target for Windows hosts. Next, you must register HP-UX hosts to the corresponding iSCSI

target and register Windows hosts to the other iSCSI target.
