30 Detailed End-to-End iSCSI Setup
Configuring the Microsoft iSCSI Initiator
After the installation is complete, you can use the iSCSI Initiator to manage
the iSCSI environment. This section describes the initial configuration steps.
If you use the Direct Portals option in the Discovery tab of the iSCSI
Initiator Properties window, add iSCSI NIC IP address of the PowerVault
NX1950 storage system.
If you are configuring a PowerVault NX1950 cluster solution:
a Add the highly-available iSCSI instance IP address in the Target
Portals tab (3.1 Target).
b Add the virtual IP address that was created and added as a cluster
resource using the iSCSI NIC (3.0 Target).
All Targets that are created in the PowerVault NX1950 cluster solutions are
listed in the Targets tab.
If you use the iSNS servers option in the Discovery tab, the Targets created in
all PowerVault NX1950 storage solutions/cluster solutions that are registered
with iSNS server are displayed.
Configuring Microsoft iSCSI Software Target
The Microsoft iSCSI Software Target software package is pre-installed on the
PowerVault NX1950 storage solution.
Before configuring iSCSI Targets, you must create a few LUNs and reserve
storage space to create Virtual Disks for iSCSI Targets. The following section
provides step-by-step instructions to create storage space.
Configuring the Target
1 Configure Network Settings on the iSCSI Target device—The PowerVault
NX1950 storage solution is configured to use DHCP for network settings
by default. The PowerVault NX1950 storage system is designed for
multi-path operations and is equipped with two RJ45 Ethernet connectors.
You can add an optional additional NIC. The PowerVault NX1950
Configuration tasks window displays the basic settings.

separate subnets and not on the public network.
