Detailed End-to-End iSCSI Setup 39
e In the iSCSI initiators identifiers screen, enter the iSCSI Qualified
Name (IQN) of the iSCSI Initiator. You can manually enter the IQN
or use the Browse option and choose the iSCSI Initiator from the list.
• You can also provide alternate ways to identify the iSCSI Initiator
by using the Advanced option. When you click Advanced, the
Advanced Identifiers screen appears. In the Advanced Identifier
screen, click Add, and enter the Identifier type and the specific
identifying information.
• Go to Advanced Identifier→ Add→ Add/Edit Identifier→
Identifier Type and choose from the four different options IQN,
DNS Domain Name, IP address, and MAC Address to add the
Initiator identifier. Figure A-5 uses the IP address to identify the
iSCSI Initiator. You can use the Browse option to choose the value
from the list of available Targets.
NOTE: It is recommended that you use the IQN as the Identifier.
The PowerVault NX1950 Management Console now displays the
newly-created iSCSI Target. The PowerVault NX1950 Management
Console also displays the devices available for the iSCSI Targets. The
storage that are used by the iSCSI Initiators (application hosts) are
defined in a later step when the Virtual Disks are created.
8 Create and assign Virtual Disks to the Target—You must create Virtual
Disks on the iSCSI Targets for Microsoft-based iSCSI Target solutions.
The Virtual Disks represent the storage volumes that the iSCSI Initiators
use. The maximum capacity represented by all the Virtual Disks on a given
iSCSI Target on a Microsoft-based iSCSI Target solution is 2 terabytes
(2 TB) per Target.
The following procedure describes the procedure to create a Virtual Disk.
In this example, a 100 GB Virtual Disk and a 200 GB Virtual Disk are
created on the iSCSI Target. The iSCSI Initiators identify these two
Virtual Disks as volumes over the TCP/IP network.
