7 In the Storage Array Login screen, in the Controller# column, select the
iSCSI host port of the storage array that needs to be configured and its IP
address(es). In the Host Address column, from drop-down menu list, select
the host IP address that logs into the iSCSI host port of the storage array.
See "Source Port Selection for iSCSI Host Ports" on page 46 for more
details about how these host IP addresses are listed in the drop-down
menu and the recommended guidelines for selecting the host IP addresses.

Source Port Selection for iSCSI Host Ports
In order to establish data communication between a host and an iSCSI-based
storage array, the iSCSI initiator on the host must be configured to establish
iSCSI sessions to the iSCSI host ports of the storage array. The iSCSI port login
screen allows you to specify the host and storage array IP addresses the iSCSI
initiator uses to establish these iSCSI sessions.
Port Login Selection
Each iSCSI port for each controller in the storage array is presented with a list
of host IP addresses through which the iSCSI initiator is able to login. The
host IP addresses are the source IP addresses and the iSCSI port is the target.
Each list contains only the host IP addresses that are able to communicate
with the associated iSCSI port. If none of the host IP addresses are able to
communicate with an iSCSI port, Not Available is the only option shown for
that iSCSI port. If none of the host IP addresses are able to communicate
with any iSCSI ports of either storage array controller, the host configuration
option is aborted for that storage array.
NOTE: The behavior described in the preceding paragraph does not apply to
Microsoft Windows Server 2003.
