Configuring iSCSI Initiators Static Discovery, allowing you to enter the IP addresses of only those targets you want the VMware initiator to access. For more information regarding installation and configuration of required VMware components, refer to the documentation included with the VMware Server installation. Using the VI Client to Configure iSCSI Services Follow the instructions in the VMware Server Configuration Guide, available from http://www.vmware.com to configure your iSCSI service. Use the VI Client to: 1 Configure the Service Console that connects to the VMware host. 2 Create the VMKernel on the NIC used for the iSCSI connection. 3 Enable the iSCSI software initiator, set up target IP addresses, and configure CHAP authentication (if desired). Rescan if necessary to see the new iSCSI service. Note On pre-VMware ESX 3i systems, you must open a port in your security profile to enable the iSCSI port. From the Configuration tab, select Security Profile, click Properties, and check the port for the iSCSI Initiator. 4 Use the Add Storage option to configure your storage. iSCSI Configuration for Mac GuardianOS supports the SmallTree abcSAN iSCSI initiator for use with MacOS 10.5. Download the initiator software from the SmallTree web site, and follow the installation instructions. Important! If iSCSI is used on a SnapServer with more than one Ethernet port, Mac OS X iSCSI clients can encounter connectivity issues if multiple ports are connected to one or more networks. To avoid these issues, configure the server from Network > TCP/IP to enable and connect only one standalone interface or one bonded pair (Load Balance, Failover, etc.) to a single network. 87

Configuring iSCSI Initiators
87
Static Discovery, allowing you to enter the IP addresses of only those targets you
want the VMware initiator to access.
For more information regarding installation and configuration of required VMware
components, refer to the documentation included with the VMware Server
installation.
Using the VI Client to Configure iSCSI Services
Follow the instructions in the
VMware Server Configuration Guide
, available from
to configure your iSCSI service. Use the VI Client to:
1
Configure the Service Console that connects to the VMware host.
2
Create the VMKernel on the NIC used for the iSCSI connection.
3
Enable the iSCSI software initiator, set up target IP addresses, and configure
CHAP authentication (if desired). Rescan if necessary to see the new iSCSI
service.
Note
On pre-VMware ESX 3i systems, you must open a port in your security
profile to enable the iSCSI port. From the Configuration tab, select
Security
Profile
, click
Properties
, and check the port for the iSCSI Initiator.
4
Use the
Add Storage
option to configure your storage.
iSCSI Configuration for Mac
GuardianOS supports the SmallTree abcSAN iSCSI initiator for use with MacOS
10.5. Download the initiator software from the
SmallTree web site
, and follow the
installation instructions.
Important!
If iSCSI is used on a SnapServer with more than one Ethernet port, Mac
OS X iSCSI clients can encounter connectivity issues if multiple ports are connected
to one or more networks. To avoid these issues, configure the server from
Network >
TCP/IP
to enable and connect only one standalone interface or one bonded pair
(Load Balance, Failover, etc.) to a single network.
