Manually Adding an iSCSI Target

Use this method if an iSCSI node has a small number of targets, or you want to restrict

the targets that an initiator can access. To manually configure a target, you must

provide the iSCSI target name.
To configure an iSCSI target manually:
1. Log into the iSCSISelect utility by pressing <Ctrl+S> when prompted.
2. Select Controller Configuration and press <Enter>. A list of controllers is

displayed.

3. Select a controller and press <Enter>. The Controller Configuration menu is

displayed.

4. From the Controller Configuration menu, select iSCSI Target Configuration and

press <Enter>.

5. Select Add New iSCSI Target and press <Enter>. The Add/Ping iSCSI Target

dialog-box is displayed (Figure 10-2).

6. Enter the iSCSI target name.
7. Enter the iSCSI target IP address.
8. Enter the TCP port number (the default target port number is 3260).
9. If you want to enable the target as a boot target, select Yes.
10. Enter an ISID Qualifier if needed. A unique ISID value is needed if you are

connecting dual sessions to the same target portal group. You can enter a number

up to 65535. For more information, see “Setting an ISID Value” on page 1616.

11. Select Yes from the Header Digest pop-up menu if you want to enable Header

Digest. When set to Yes, and the iSCSI initiator is set accordingly, the integrity of an

iSCSI PDU’s header segment is protected by CRC32C checksum. The default setting

is No.
