Deploy the base image. If you are using the SMCWinPE CD, use the GUI to
copy the contents to the physical drive to the storage array, or open a

Connecting to a target image LUN on an SMC Storage Array
using the iSCSI Initiator

This section describes how to use the iSCSI initiator program to connect to a
specific target location on the Secure Managed Client Storage Array. The iSCSI
initiator program is installed by default on Microsoft Vista and can be downloaded
for both XP and Windows Server 2003. This process is useful for copying images
directly to the space using tools such as imagex or xcopy, modifying an image that
already exists, or browsing the directory structure on the storage array for the
image you are connecting. You can connect to a base image, but only in Pending
State. You can also connect to any user image as long as it is not in use. Here is a
scenario for performing this process:

1.

Start the iSCSI Initiator program.

2.

Rename the initiator by clicking the Change... button. You can get this
information by right-clicking on the SMC Storage Array that is provisioned in
the Core Console and clicking on Properties to open the Image Properties
window. The Base image must be Pending Image and not Active Image in the
Type

field to see the Chap Secret. Paste that information in the field and click

OK

.

3.

Click the Secret button on the General tab of the iSCSI initiator program.
Copy and paste the Chap Secret into that field and click OK.

4.

Click the Discovery tab in the iSCSI Initiator Properties window and then
click Add Portal.... Add the IP address of your SMC Storage Array in the field
and click OK to close the window.

5.

Click on the Targets tab. You should see a listing of about 5 targets. Click
Refresh

to ensure that you have the latest targets listed. Highlight the entry

that includes the name of the space you are connecting to on the SMC Storage
Array. Click Log on... to open the Log On to Target window.

6.

Click Advanced... . The Advanced Settings window opens.

7.

Check the CHAP logon information box. Copy the information from the
Initiator User and Chap Secret fields on the Image Properties screen in step 2
and paste this information in the User name: and Target secret: fields. Click
OK

.

8.

You will now see that drive as Connected. You are now ready to prepare the
drive for an image.

9.

Open a DOS command prompt and type in the following commands:

Note:

Make sure you select the right disk for the next step. The clean

command will erase the disk completely. You can run list disk or Disk
Management
to check that the disk is erased completely.
a.

diskpart
