6 Click OK to exit the Advanced menu and click OK again to exit the Add

Target Portals screen.

If you plan to configure CHAP authentication, do not perform discovery on

more than one iSCSI port at this point. Go to "Step 4: Configure Host

Access" on page 62.
If you do not plan to configure CHAP authentication, repeat step 1 thorough

step 6 for all iSCSI ports on the storage array.
If you are using Windows Server 2008 Core Version:

1 Set the iSCSI initiator service to start automatically:

sc \\<server_name> config msiscsi start= auto

2 Start the iSCSI service: sc start msiscsi
3 Add a target portal:

iscsicli QAddTargetPortal

<IP_address_of_iSCSI_port_on_storage array>

If you are using Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6,

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10, or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11:
Configuration of the iSCSI initiator for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP1 distributions is done by modifying the

/etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf file, which is installed by default when you install

MDSM. You can edit the file directly, or replace the default file with a sample

file included on the PowerVault MD series resource media.
To use the sample file included on the media:

1 Save the default /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf file by naming it to another name of

your choice.

2 Copy the appropriate sample file from /linux/etc on the media to

/etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf.

3 Rename the sample file to iscsid.conf.
4 Edit the following entries in the /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf file:

a

Edit or verify that the node.startup = manual line is disabled.

b

Edit or verify that the node.startup = automatic line is

enabled. This enables automatic startup of the service at boot time.
