If you require a discovery session failover, repeat step 5 and step 6 (in this step) for all iSCSI ports on the storage
array. Otherwise, single-host port configuration is sufficient.

NOTE: If the connection fails, ensure that all IP addresses are entered correctly. Mistyped IP addresses result
in connection problems.

For Windows Server 2008 Core Version

1.

Set the iSCSI initiator services to start automatically (if not already set):
sc \\<server_name> config msiscsi start= auto

2.

Start the iSCSI service (if necessary):
sc start msiscsi

3.

If you are not using mutual CHAP authentication, go to step 5.

4.

Enter the mutual CHAP secret you entered for the storage array:
iscsicli CHAPSecret <secret>

5.

Remove the target portal that you configured on the storage array during target discovery:
iscsicli RemoveTargetPortal <IP_address>

<TCP_listening_port>

6.

Add the target portal with CHAP defined:
iscsicli QAddTargetPortal

<IP_address_of_iSCSI_port_on_storage_array>

[CHAP_username]

[CHAP_password]

Where, [CHAP_username] is the initiator name and [CHAP_password] is the target CHAP secret.
If you require a discovery session failover, repeat step 5 for all iSCSI ports on the storage array. Otherwise, single-
host port configuration is sufficient.
