Appendix—Manual Configuration of iSCSI

Step 3: Perform Target Discovery From the iSCSI

Initiator

This step identifies the iSCSI ports on the storage array to the host server.

Select the set of steps in one of the following sections (Microsoft Windows or

Linux) that corresponds to your operating system.
If you are using Microsoft Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008 GUI

version:

1 Click StartProgramsMicrosoft iSCSI Initiator or click StartAll

ProgramsAdministrative ToolsiSCSI Initiator.

2 Click the Discovery tab.
3 Under Target Portals, click Add and enter the IP address or DNS name of

the iSCSI port on the storage array.

4 If the iSCSI storage array uses a custom TCP port, change the Port

number. The default is 3260.

5 Click Advanced and set the following values on the General tab:

Local Adapter—Must be set to Microsoft iSCSI Initiator.

Source IP—The source IP address of the host you want to connect

with.

Data Digest and Header Digest—Optionally, you can specify that a

digest of data or header information be compiled during transmission

to assist in troubleshooting.

CHAP logon information—Leave this option unselected and do not

enter CHAP information at this point, unless you are adding the

storage array to a Storage Area Network (SAN) that has target CHAP

already configured.

NOTE:

IPSec is not supported.

6 Click OK to exit the Advanced menu and click OK again to exit the Add

Target Portals screen.

7 To exit the Discovery tab, click OK.

If you plan to configure CHAP authentication, do not perform discovery on

more than one iSCSI port at this point. Go to "Step 4: Configure Host

Access" on page 61.
