Dell PowerVault MD3660i - Manual (Page 42)

– 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 MD3660i configuration, then LUNs must 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 MD3660i supports only round robin load-balancing policies.
For Windows Server 2008 Core Version
If you are using Windows Server 2008 Core Version:
1. Set the iSCSI initiator services to start automatically (if not already set):
sc \\ config msiscsi start= auto
2. Start the iSCSI service (if necessary):
sc start msiscsi
3. Log on to the target:
iscsicli PersistentLoginTarget Target_Name
Report_To_PNP Target_Portal_Address
TCP_Port_Number_Of_Target_Portal * * *
Login_Flags * * * * * Username Password
Authtype * Mapping_Count
where
– is the target name as displayed in the target list. Use the iscsicli ListTargets command
to display the target list.
– is T, which exposes the LUN to the operating system as a storage device.
– is the IP address of the iSCSI port on the controller being logged in to.
– is 3260.
– is 0x2 to enable multipathing for the target on the initiator. This value allows more than
one session to be logged in to a target at one time.
– is the initiator name.
– is the target CHAP secret.
– is either 0 for no authentication, 1 for Target CHAP, or 2 for Mutual CHAP.
NOTE: , , and are optional parameters. They can be
replaced with an asterisk (*) if CHAP is not used.
