62 Appendix—Manual Configuration of iSCSI
• If you do not plan to configure CHAP authentication, repeat step 1
thorough step 6 for all iSCSI ports on the storage array.
If you are using Windows Server 2008 Core Version:
1 Set the iSCSI initiator service to start automatically:
sc \\ config msiscsi start=auto
2 Start the iSCSI service: sc start msiscsi
3 Add a target portal:
iscsicli QAddTargetPortal
If you are using Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6,
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10, or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11:
Configuration of the iSCSI initiator for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP1 distributions is done by modifying the
/etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf file, which is installed by default when you install
MDSM. You can edit the file directly, or replace the default file with a sample
file included on the PowerVault MD series resource media.
To use the sample file included on the media:
1 Make a copy of the default /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf file by saving it to another
directory of your choice.
2 Edit the following entries in the /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf file:
a Edit or verify that the node.startup = manual line is disabled.
b Edit or verify that the node.startup = automatic line is
enabled. This enables automatic startup of the service at boot time.
c Verify that the following time-out value is set to 30:
node.session.timeo.replacement_timeout = 30
d Save and close the /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf file.
3 From the console, restart the iSCSI service with the following command:
service iscsi start
4 Verify that the iSCSI service is running during boot using the following
command from the console:
chkconfig iscsi on
