Configuring iSCSI Initiators iSCSI Configuration for Novell NetWare Consider the following information before implementing iSCSI on NetWare servers: • NetWare 6.5 with SP1 for NetWare is required, and the iSCSI packages must also have been installed using the Custom Install method to utilize the NetWare iSCSI initiator. • The server initiating the connection should be a P-III or higher with a minimum of 512MB of RAM and a GbE adapter. To validate the NetWare server's ability to communicate with the Snap Server, ping the Snap Server from the NetWare server. • With GuardianOS 5.0, CHAP authentication is supported on NetWare 6.5, SP7. Note CHAP authentication is not supported on versions of NetWare 6.5 earlier than SP7, nor is it supported on pre-GuardianOS 5.0 systems. • iSCSI implementation requires configuration using the NetWare Remote Manager or the command line in the Server Console. For more information regarding installation and configuration of required NetWare components, refer to the documentation included with the Novell initiator distribution. iSCSI Configuration for VMware Note GuardianOS 4.2/4.3, SP2 or higher is required to configure iSCSI disks with the VMware Initiator. When you install VMware ESX Server, the iSCSI Initiator is automatically installed. On connecting to the Snap Server targets, the VMware initiator will find all iSCSI disks and automatically log into them. If iSCSI disks are shared across multiple servers, you can use CHAP authentication to restrict the number of iSCSI disks the VMWare initiator can access. See "Creating iSCSI Disks" on page 76 for more information. For more information regarding installation and configuration of required VMware components, refer to the documentation included with the VMware ESX Server installation. 72 Snap Server Administrator Guide
