Using Windows Server 2008 Core Version
1) Set the iSCSI initiator service to start automatically: \\<server_name> config msiscsi
start= auto
2) Start the iSCSI service: start msiscsi
3) Add a target portal: iscsicli QAddTargetPortal
<IP_address_of_iSCSI_port_on_storagearray>
Using Linux Server
Configuration of the iSCSI initiator for Red Hat
Server 9 distributions is performed by modifying the /etc/iscsi.conf file, which is installed by default when
you installed the iSCSI initiator. The /etc/iscsi.conf file needs to be changed before using the initiator:
1) Edit the /etc/iscsi.conf file and replace the IP address entries shown for DiscoveryAddress=
with the IP addresses assigned to the iSCSI ports on your iSCSI to SAS bridge:
2) Edit (or add) the following entries to the /etc/iscsi.conf file:
3) Restart the iSCSI daemon by executing the following command from the console:
/etc/init.d/iscsi restart
4) Verify that the server can connect to the iSCSI to SAS bridge by executing this command from a
console: iscsi –ls. If successful, an iSCSI session has been established to each iSCSI port
on the iSCSI to SAS bridge.
Using RHEL 5 or SLES 10 SP1
Configuration of the iSCSI initiator for RHEL version 5 and SLES 10 SP1 distributions is done by
modifying the /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf file.
1) Edit the following entries in the /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf file:
a) Edit (or verify) that the node.startup = manual line is disabled.
b) Edit (or verify) that the node.startup = automatic line is enabled. This will enable
automatic startup of the service at boot time.
c) Verify that the following time-out value is set to 144:
node.session.timeo.replacement_timeout = 144
d) Save and close the /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf file.
2) From the console, restart the iSCSI service with the following command: service iscsi
start
3) Verify that the iSCSI service is running during boot using the following command from the
console: chkconfig iscsi on
4) To display the available iscsi targets at the specified IP address, use the following command:
iscsiadm –m discovery –t st -p <IP_address_of_iSCSI_port>
5)
After target discovery, use the following command to manually login: iscsiadm -m node –l.
This logon will be performed automatically at startup if automatic startup is enabled.
6) Manually log out of the session using the following command: iscsiadm -m node -T
<initiator_username> -p <target_ip> -u
