Appendix—Manual Configuration of iSCSI

• Perform mutual authentication—If mutual CHAP authentication is

configured, select this option.

NOTE:

IPSec is not supported.

8 Click OK.

If you require a discovery session failover, repeat step 5 and step 6 (in this

procedure) 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.

If you are using 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.

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:
