Using SendTargets Discovery to Add an iSCSI Target

SendTargets discovery asks an iSCSI target to provide the list of target names that can

be logged into by the initiator. The iSCSI initiator then uses the SendTargets Discovery

option to perform the device discovery. Use this method if an iSCSI node has a large

number of targets. When adding an iSCSI target, leave the iSCSI target name option

blank, you can use the iSCSI SendTargets mechanism to add a target.
To configure an iSCSI target using the SendTargets discovery:
1. On the Controller Properties screen (Figure 12-5), set Discover Boot Target via

DHCP to <Disable> and press <Enter>.

2. Select Save Changes and press <Enter>.
3. Reboot the system.
4. From the Controller Configuration Menu screen (Figure 12-2), select iSCSI Target

Configuration and press <Enter>.

5. Select Add Target and press <Enter>.
6. In the Add/Ping iSCSI Target dialog box, leave the iSCSI Target Name blank for a

SendTargets response.
