Configuring and managing the iSCSI Initiator 9

1.

Log into HP NC-Series ServerEngines iSCSISelect by pressing Ctrl+S when prompted at boot. The
iSCSI Initiator Configuration menu displays.

2.

Tab to iSCSI Initiator Name and press Enter.
If there are multiple controllers in your system, the iSCSI Initiator name may be different for each
controller. When this occurs a POST error message indicating an Initiator iSCSI Name mismatch
displays.
You must Save a new initiator name on this menu so that the iSCSI Initiator Name on all the
controllers match. After you exit iSCSISelect and reboot, all logins from the multiple controllers use
the new name.

3.

Tab to Boot Support and select Enabled (default) to manually set an iSCSI boot configuration. Or, if
a DHCP server is used to discover boot targets, select Disabled. For more information about boot
support see, "Setting up a basic iSCSI boot configuration (on page

30

)."

4.

Tab to Save and press Enter to save your selections.

Selecting a controller

Select a controller on which to configure your iSCSI target. This is completed on the Controller Selection
menu. If you are running iSCSISelect with multiple adapters, they all appear on this menu.
Because the HP NC-Series ServerEngines BE2 is a dual-port chip, there are two controllers for each
adapter. Therefore, the Controller Selection Menu always shows two controllers (dual ports) for each
physical adapter.
