Testing connectivity To test connectivity, issue the ping command from the host (ping the C-Series Fibre Channel switches) and the switches (ping the server's two IP addresses). If host and switches are able to ping each other's respective IP addresses you can proceed with the final steps. Presenting iSCSI hosts as virtual Fibre Channel hosts After establishing IP connectivity, you must configure the host and switches for iSCSI discovery and login. Host side: iSCSI Initiator configuration You must specify the iSCSI targets that the host will access. 1.
