6) To enable use of the Lmhosts file to resolve remote NetBIOS names, select Enable LMHOSTS

lookup.

7) To specify the location of the file that you want to import into the Lmhosts file, select Import

LMHOSTS and then select the file in the Open dialog box

8) Enable or disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP.


If using Windows 2008 Core Version

On a server running Windows 2008 Core version, use the netsh interface command to configure the
iSCSI ports on the host server.

Linux Host Setup

If you are using a Linux host network, the following section provides a framework for preparing your
network for iSCSI.
To set up a Linux host network, you must configure the IP address and netmask of each iSCSI port
connected to the .The specific steps depend on whether you are configuring TCP/IP using Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) or configuring TCP/IP using a static IP address.


Network Configuration Guidelines

NOTE:

The server IP addresses must be configured for network communication to the same IP subnet as the iSCSI

to SAS bridge management and iSCSI ports.


Configuring TCP/IP on Linux using DHCP (root users only)

1) Edit the /etc/sysconfig/network file as follows:

NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=mymachine.mycompany.com

2) Edit the configuration file for the connection you want to configure, either

/etc/sysconfig/networkscripts/ifcfg-ethX (for RHEL) or /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth-id-
XX:XX:XX:XX:XX (for SUSE).

BOOTPROTO=dhcp

Also, verify that an IP address and netmask are not defined.

3) Restart network services using the following command:

/etc/init.d/network restart


Configuring TCP/IP on Linux using a Static IP address (root users only)

1) Edit the /etc/sysconfig/network file as follows:

NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=mymachine.mycompany.com
GATEWAY=255.255.255.0

2) Edit the configuration file for the connection you want to configure, either

/etc/sysconfig/networkscripts/ifcfg-ethX (for RHEL) or /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth-id-
XX:XX:XX:XX:XX (for SUSE).

BOOTPROTO=static
BROADCAST=192.168.1.255
IPADDR=192.168.1.100
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.1.0
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
HWADDR=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
GATEWAY=192.168.1.1

3) Restart network services using the following command:

/etc/init.d/network restart
