Appendix—Manual Configuration of iSCSI

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 MD36

x0i 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 MD36

x0i supports only round-robin load-balancing

policies.

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
