Appendix—Manual Configuration of iSCSI 71
3 Click Log On.
4 Select Automatically restore this connection when the system boots.
5 Select Enable multi-path.
6 Click Advanced and configure the following settings under the General
tab:
•
Local Adapter—Must be set to Microsoft iSCSI Initiator.
• Source IP—The source IP address of the host server you want to
connect from.
• Target Portal—Select the iSCSI port on the storage array controller
that you want to connect to.
• Data Digest and Header Digest—Optionally, you can specify that a
digest of data or header information be compiled during transmission
to assist in troubleshooting.
• CHAP logon information—If CHAP authentication is required,
select this option and enter the Target secret.
• Perform mutual authentication—If mutual CHAP authentication is
configured, select this option.
NOTE: IPSec is not supported.
7 Click OK.
To support storage array controller failover, the host server must be
connected to at least one iSCSI port on each controller. Repeat step 3
through step 8 for each iSCSI port on the storage array that you want to
establish as failover targets. The Target Portal address is different for each
port you connected to.
NOTE: To enable the higher throughput of multipathing I/O, the host server
must connect to both iSCSI ports on each controller, ideally from separate
host-side NICs. Repeat step 3 through step 7 for each iSCSI port on each
controller. If using a duplex PowerVault MD32xxi configuration, then LUNs
should also be balanced between the controllers.
The Status field on the Targets tab should now display as Connected.
8 Click OK to close the Microsoft iSCSI initiator.
NOTE: PowerVault MD32xxi supports only round robin load-balancing
policies.
