iSCSI Initiator setup
The IP host or iSCSI Initiator uses an iSCSI driver to enable target resource recognition and attachment to
EVA iSCSI connectivity over IP. An iSCSI driver may be part of the operating system (software initiator)
or embedded on an iSCSI HBA (hardware initiator). An iSCSI driver is configured with the Gigabit
Ethernet IP address of each mpx100/100b iSCSI port with which the host is to transport SCSI requests
and responses.
The iSCSI Initiator sees the EVA LUNs as if they were block-level drives attached directly to the server.
