iSCSI
From the iSCSI panel, you can configure settings for the system to attach to iSCSI-attached hosts.
Before you complete any iSCSI-configuration tasks on the system, it is important that you complete all the iSCSI-related configuration on the host machine. Because the system supports various host machines, consult the documentation for specific instructions and requirements for a particular host. For a list of supported hosts, see this website:
To configure a system for iSCSI, follow these general tasks on the host system:
- Select a software-based iSCSI initiator, such as Microsoft Windows iSCSI Software Initiator and verify the iSCSI driver installation.
- If required, install and configure a multipathing driver for the host system.
In addition, determine a naming convention for iSCSI names, such as iSCSI qualified names (IQNs) for your system. Hosts use iSCSI names to connect to the node. Each node, for example, has a unique IQN, and the system name and node name are used as part of that IQN. Each node, for example, has a unique IQN, and the system name and node name are used as part of that IQN.
