Appendix—Manual Configuration of iSCSI

67

5 Under Target Portals, select the IP address of the iSCSI port on the storage

array and click

Remove.

The iSCSI port you configured on the storage array during target

discovery disappears.

6 Under Target Portals, click Add and re-enter the IP address or DNS name

of the iSCSI port on the storage array (removed above).

7 Click Advanced and set the following values on the General tab:

• Local Adapter—Should always be set to Microsoft iSCSI Initiator.
• Source IP—The source IP address of the host you want to connect

with.

• 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—Enter the target CHAP authentication

user name and secret you entered (for the host server) on the

storage array.

• Perform mutual authentication—If mutual CHAP authentication is

configured, select this option.

NOTE:

IPSec is not supported.

8 Click OK.

If you require a discovery session failover, repeat step 5 and step 6 (in this

step) for all iSCSI ports on the storage array. Otherwise, single-host port

configuration is sufficient.

NOTE:

If the connection fails, ensure that all IP addresses are entered correctly.

Mistyped IP addresses result in connection problems.

If you are using Windows Server 2008 Core version:

1 Set the iSCSI initiator services to start automatically (if not already set):

sc \\<server_name> config msiscsi start= auto

2 Start the iSCSI service (if necessary): sc start msiscsi
3 If you are not using mutual CHAP authentication, go to step 5.
4 Enter the mutual CHAP secret you entered for the storage array:

iscsicli CHAPSecret <secret>
