For example, your log on command might look like this: iscsicli PersistentLoginTarget iqn.1984- 05.com.dell:powervault.6001372000ffe3332xx0000046 72edf2 3260 T 192.168.130.101 * * * 0x2 * * * * * * * * * 0 To view active sessions to the target, run the following command: iscsicli SessionList To support storage array controller failover, the host server must be connected to at least one iSCSI port on each controller. Repeatstep 3 for each iSCSI port on the storage array that you want to establish as a failover target. The Target_ Portal_Address is different for each port you connect to. PersistentLoginTarget does not initiate a login to the target until after the system is rebooted. To establish immediate login to the target, substitute LoginTarget for PersistentLoginTarget. : NOTE: See the Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator 2.x User's Guide for more information about the commands used in the previous steps.

If you are using a Linux Server: In MDSM, the Configure iSCSI Host Ports displays the status of each iSCSI port you attempt to connect and the configuration state of all IP addresses. If either displays Disconnected or Unconfigured, respectively, check the following and repeat the iSCSI configuration steps: • Are all cables securely attached to each port on the host server and storage array? • Is TCP/IP correctly configured on all target host ports? • Is CHAP set up correctly on both the host server and the storage array?

For example, your log on command might look like this:
iscsicli PersistentLoginTarget iqn.1984-
05.com.dell:powervault.6001372000ffe3332xx0000046

To view active sessions to the target, run the following command:
iscsicli SessionList
To support storage array controller failover, the host server must be connected
to at least one iSCSI port on each controller. Repeatstep 3 for each iSCSI port
on the storage array that you want to establish as a failover target. The
Target_
Portal_Address
is different for each port you connect to.
PersistentLoginTarget does not initiate a login to the target until after the
system is rebooted. To establish immediate login to the target, substitute
LoginTarget for PersistentLoginTarget.

See the
Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator 2.x User’s Guide
for more
information about the commands used in the previous steps. For more information
about Windows Server 2008 Server Core, see the Microsoft Developers Network

If you are using a
Linux Server
:
In MDSM, the
Configure iSCSI Host Ports
displays the status of each iSCSI
port you attempt to connect and the configuration state of all IP addresses. If
either displays
Disconnected
or
Unconfigured
, respectively, check the
following and repeat the iSCSI configuration steps:
Are all cables securely attached to each port on the host server and storage
array?
Is TCP/IP correctly configured on all target host ports?
Is CHAP set up correctly on both the host server and the storage array?
