Appendix—Manual Configuration of iSCSI

For example, your log on command might look like this:

iscsicli PersistentLoginTarget iqn.1984-

05.com.dell:powervault.6001372000ffe3332xx0000046

72edf2 3260 T 192.168.130.101 * * * 0x2 * * * * *

* * * * 0

To view active sessions to the target, run the following command:

iscsicli SessionList

To support storage array controller failover, the host server must be connected

to at least one iSCSI port on each controller. Repeatstep 3 for each iSCSI port

on the storage array that you want to establish as a failover target. The Target_

Portal_Address is different for each port you connect to.
PersistentLoginTarget does not initiate a login to the target until after the

system is rebooted. To establish immediate login to the target, substitute

LoginTarget for PersistentLoginTarget.

NOTE:

See the Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator 2.x User’s Guide for more

information about the commands used in the previous steps. For more information

about Windows Server 2008 Server Core, see the Microsoft Developers Network

(MSDN) at microsoft.com.

If you are using a Linux Server:
In MDSM, the Configure iSCSI Host Ports displays the status of each iSCSI

port you attempt to connect and the configuration state of all IP addresses. If

either displays Disconnected or Unconfigured, respectively, check the

following and repeat the iSCSI configuration steps:

• Are all cables securely attached to each port on the host server and storage

array?

• Is TCP/IP correctly configured on all target host ports?
• Is CHAP set up correctly on both the host server and the storage array?

To review optimal network setup and configuration settings, see "Guidelines

for Configuring Your Network for iSCSI" on page 49.
