2.4.3 Creating a New LUN (iSCSI)

Before creating a new iSCSI LUN, initiator entries should be configured to allow fine-grained access
control.
To add an Initiator:

1. Select Configuration -> Services -> iSCSI -> Initiators.
2. Click (+) to add a new initiator.
3. Enter an alias and the IQN of the initiator. The IQN is found in the Storage Adapter section of

the ESX VI client application. See section "3.0 Configuring VMware ESX with Sun Storage
7000 Unified Storage System" for more details.

4. Optionally, configure the CHAP settings for unidirectional CHAP. These credentials must

match those set on the initiator in ESX.

5. Click Add to finish the procedure.

To add a new iSCSI LUN:

1. Select Configuration -> Shares -> Luns.
2. Click (+) to add a new LUN.
3. Use the drop-down menu to select which project the LUN should go into.
4. Give the LUN a name. Enter volume size, whether the LUN should be sparse, and the volume

block size.

5. Click Apply.
6. Click the Edit icon to enter the LUN properties. Click the Protocols tab.
7. Uncheck Inherit from project and Allow any initiator access.
