Building Your IPSAN Building Your IPSAN (Without WMI) This section provides basic instructions for creating an IPSAN manually, without using the automated features of Adaptec Storage Manager that are supported by WMI. Set-up Task List To set up your IPSAN manually, complete these tasks, in order: 1 Add a storage pool to the iSCSI subsystem. (See page 4-5.) 2 Add an iSCSI target. (See the next section on this page.) 3 Create and configure spares. (See page 4-13.) Creating an iSCSI Target After you create a storage pool (see page 4-5), the next step in building an IPSAN manually is to create your iSCSI targets. Note: You can only create an iSCSI target within a storage pool. Ensure that you have created a storage pool before you continue. Plan your storage-an iSCSI target must be at least 10 MB in size and can be no larger than the storage pool in which it's built. Leave room in your storage pool for advanced features such as snapshots that require available free space. Once you have created an iSCSI target, you can adjust its size at any time. (See page 6-34.) To create a new iSCSI target: 1 In the Tree Menu, click the iSCSI subsystem on which you want to create an iSCSI target. 2 In the Application Window, click View under the Targets option. The Targets on this iSCSI Subsystem window opens. 4-11
