Reviewing How Targets (REO Devices) and
Initiators are Associated
After you have named the targets and initiators (described later in this
chapter), you must assign them to each other in pairs. This must be
performed both on the REO Appliance by using the REO Appliance
software console and on the application or backup server by using the
iSCSI initiator management tools. The following illustrations
demonstrate how this should be accomplished in an iSCSI configuration
using the Microsoft iSCSI initiator.
1
Match the Data Port IP address on the REO Appliance to the
target address on the backup server.
For example, if Data Port 1 on the REO Appliance is assigned an IP
address of 10.10.50.42, the IP address on the REO Appliance Network
Configuration page must match the target address on the iSCSI
configuration tool screens (you must launch the iSCSI configuration tool
to obtain this information) for the backup server you are configuring.
Note:
The preceding example illustrates using the Microsoft iSCSI
Configuration Tool.
(To access this dialog box, double-click the
Microsoft iSCSI Initiator icon on your desktop.)
(To access the Add Target Portal dialog box,
click Add on the Target Portals tab in the
iSCSI Initiator Properties dialog box.)
