For 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>
For Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Or 6, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 Or 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 MD Storage Manager.
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 resource 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.
c) Verify that the following time-out value is set to 30 by running the following command:
node.session.timeo.replacement_timeout = 30
d) Save and close the /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf file.
5. From the console, restart the iSCSI service with the following command:
service iscsi start
