From the next screen, specify the iSCSI Initiator by entering a name for the iSCSI initiator. The label is auto-
populated from the server name.

Host Group configuration starts from the screen titled “Manually Define Hosts”. For ESX servers supporting
VMotion, HA, and DRS (Distributed Resource Scheduler), a host group must be defined so the MD32xxi storage
subsystem has a configured iSCSI path to each of the hosts.

Select “Yes: This host will share access to the same virtual disks with other hosts”
