Figure 53 Log on to target

A status of Connected indicates the iSCSI Initiator is logged into the mpx100/100b and is ready to be

presented with EVA LUNs from HP Command View EVA.

Set up LUNs using HP Command View.

See

Using HP Command View EVA to configure LUNs to iSCSI initiators

, page 129.

NOTE:

For dual mpx100/100b multipath configurations—when the iSCSI Initiator is logged into both

mpx100's/100b's, HP Command View EVA polls both mpx100's/100b's and recognizes duplicate

entries as the same initiator and displays an initiator only once in its host list. When the Vdisk is

presented, HP Command View EVA updates the initiator on both mpx100's and mpx100b's.
In order for HP Command View EVA to present a LUN to an iSCSI Initiator logged into both

mpx100's/100b's, HP Command View EVA must be able to communicate with the management

port of each mpx100/100b. If HP Command View EVA discovers a link down when trying to

present the LUN, it displays the communication error and does not start the update.

Once the Vdisk is presented to the iSCSI Initiator, it is available to the server as block-level

storage. In Disk Management, rescan the disks or reboot the server to access the iSCSI storage

(see

Figure 54

).
