3 Configuring the VLS1000i
This section describes how to configure the VLS server. It is comprised of the following topics:
• Reviewing pre-Installation requirements
• Powering
up the VLS
• Configuring the VLS
• Creating virtual devices
• Connecting devices (targets) to backup hosts (initiators)
Reviewing pre-installation requirements
Before attempting to operate the VLS with your backup servers, verify that the iSCSI initiator and the
browser meet the minimum requirements.
iSCSI initiators
iSCSI initiators are required to communicate with the iSCSI targets (VLS Devices) on the VLS. Each backup
server that will interface with the VLS must be equipped with a software- or hardware-based initiator. The
VLS supports the Windows 2003 platform server with an available iSCSI initiator, either in software or
using an iSCSI HBA (it must be iSCSI draft 20/version 1.0).
Browser
The VLS GUI is a Web-enabled program that requires the use of cookies, Java applets, and Java scripts.
Make sure that the Web browser you use is configured to allow these items.
Verifying the settings in Internet Explorer
1. Launch Microsoft Internet Explorer.
2. In the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
3. On the Security tab, click Custom Level.
