Connecting devices (targets) to backup hosts (initiators)

By this point you have created devices and each device knows which host uses it. Now we need to tell

each host which devices are available to it. Perform the following steps to associate devices to hosts.

NOTE:

The following process presents associating devices and backup hosts using the Microsoft iSCSI Software

Initiator. The steps and screens may be different depending on the iSCSI solution on your system.

1.

On the host you want to associate with the device being created, select Start > Microsoft iSCSI

Initiator > Microsoft iSCSI Initiator.

2.

On the iSCSI Initiator Properties window, click the Targets tab. As shown in

Figure 39

a list of targets

associated with the host you are working on displays.

NOTE:

Initially, there are no targets to display. Targets will display as you create them.

3.

In order to associate any new devices with this host, click Refresh. The LAN will be queried for all

devices set up for use by this host and all targets found will display (

can both add newly created devices and remove from the list any devices that have either been

deleted or have had their host association changed to another host.
