Configuring an iSCSI target
With iSCSISelect, you can easily configure an iSCSI target by selecting and enabling values on the
Add/Ping iSCSI Target menu. From this menu, you can configure your target and perform a login to the
target to establish your iSCSI network connection.
Before you begin your login session, you must know the following:
•
iSCSI Target Name (only for manual configuration). The name of the target to be added.
The iSCSI Target Name is not entered if you are using SendTargets discovery. This name should be
known to you based on how you configured your iSCSI target.
•
iSCSI Target IP Address. The IP address of the target that you are logging into.
•
TCP Port Number. The TCP port number of the target portal. Typically this is 3260, which is the well-
known port number defined for use by iSCSI.
Follow the steps in the next sections to configure an iSCSI target by using either SendTargets discovery or
by manually configuring the target.
Using SendTargets Discovery to add an iSCSI target
1.
From the Controller Configuration menu, select iSCSI Target Configuration, and then select Add New
iSCSI Target.
2.
From the Add/Ping iSCSI Target menu, leave the iSCSI Target Name option blank for a SendTargets
response.
Only the first 48 sessions are returned during a single discovery session. If more than 48 sessions
are returned, a message displays.
3.
Enter the iSCSI Target IP Address.
4.
Enter the TCP Port number (the default target port number is 3260).
5.
Tab to Boot Target and accept the default No, even if you want to enable the target as a Boot
Target. For more information about the Boot Target, see "Setting up a basic iSCSI boot configuration
(on page
)."
