Setting Up a Storage Center

7 Check the Send Extended HELO (EHLO) box to configure use of extended hello for mail

system compatibility. Instead of beginning the session with the HELO command, the
receiving host issues the HELO command. If the sending host accepts this command,
the receiving host then sends it a list of SMTP extensions it understands, and the
sending host then knows which SMTP extensions it can use to communicate with the
receiving host. Implementing Extended SMTP (ESMTP) requires no modification of the
SMTP configuration for either the client or the mail server.

8 Check the Use Authorized Login (AUTH LOGIN) and complete the Login ID and

Password boxes if the email system requires the use of an authorized login.

9 Click OK to save changes.

Configuring iSNS Server

iSNS is analogous to DNS. Just as DNS provides name service for servers and
workstations in a LAN, an iSNS server provides name service for initiators and targets in a
SAN. This makes the task of managing the storage network easier because data is
centralized on a server.

The iSNS protocol facilitates automated discovery, management, and configuration of
iSCSI and FC devices on a TCP/IP network. The protocol provides intelligent storage
discovery and management services comparable to those found in FC networks, allowing
an IP network to function in a similar capacity as a SAN. Because of its ability to emulate
FC fabric services, iSNS also facilitates a seamless integration of IP and FC networks and
manages both iSCSI and FC devices. Using iSNS thereby provides value in a Storage
Center system.

To configure the Internet Storage Name Service (iSNS)

1 From the Storage Management menu, choose System > Setup > Configure iSNS Server.

The Configure iSNS Server window appears.

2 Enter the IP address of the server.

3 Click OK.

Configuring Syslog Server

All syslog messages have a logging facility, which is the location where messages are sent.
The syslog daemon sends messages based on the configured facility. If no facility is
specified, local0 is the default outgoing facility. Follow these steps to configure a syslog
server and logging facility.

To configure the syslog server

1 From the Storage Management menu, choose System > Setup > Configure Syslog

Server. The Configure SysLog Server window appears.
