Updating Firmware
To update firmware, you must use the NIC firmware update utility which revises the
iSCSI function with a single firmware download image. For more information on
downloading firmware, see “Downloading Firmware and Boot Code” on page 1656.
Adding and Configuring Targets
Once the initiator has been configured you need a process that shows you how to make
an iSCSI target available to that initiator host. The discovery process presents an
initiator with a list of available targets. The discovery methods used for discovering
targets are:

DHCP discovery

SendTargets discovery

Manually configuring targets
Before you begin the login session, gather the following information:

iSCSI target name (only for manual configuration) – The target name that you
are adding. The iSCSI target name is not required if you are using DHCP or
SendTargets discovery. It is required only for manually configured targets. This
name should be known to you based on how you configured your iSCSI target.

iSCSI target IP address – The IP address of the target into which you are
logging.

TCP port number – The TCP port number of the target portal. Typically this is
3260, which is the well-known port number defined for use by iSCSI.
Discovering and Adding Boot Targets through DHCP
To automatically discover and add boot targets through DHCP:
1. On the Controller Properties screen (Figure 12-5), set Discover Boot Target via
DHCP to <Enable> and press <Enter>.
2. Select Save Changes and press <Enter>.
