Setup Steps for Initiator-Target Connection This section provides step-by-step instructions to set up an iSCSI Target and establish connection from an Initiator. It is assumed that the user is familiar with the following: • Operations of iSCSI protocol • iSCSI Initiator-Target connection information • Install and setup of Microsoft® iSCSI Initiator, Microsoft Software iSCSI Target, and Microsoft iSNS server Pre-Requisites Before you set up the iSCSI Target, ensure that you perform the following steps: 1 Download the latest Microsoft iSCSI Initiator software from Microsoft support website at support.microsoft.com and install the Initiator (Host). 2 Install MS Software iSCSI Target on your storage system from the CD provided. 3 Configure and assign the IP addresses for iSCSI network using the "Worksheet" on page 10. Before configuring iSCSI Targets, ensure that you perform the following tasks: 1 Create a few LUNs and reserve storage space to create virtual disks for iSCSI Targets. 2 Right-click iSCSI Target and select Properties to configure dedicated iSCSI NICs for iSCSI traffic (see Figure 3-1 "Creating iSCSI Targets" on page 23). Method 1 (Discovery Using Target Portals) To perform Target discovery, enter the IP address of one of the NICs of the PowerVault storage system that is configured for iSCSI traffic in the Initiator and thereby enabling the Initiator to discover all Targets of this Target server.

Setup Steps for Initiator-Target
Connection
This section provides step-by-step instructions to set up an iSCSI Target and
establish connection from an Initiator. It is assumed that the user is familiar
with the following:
•
Operations of iSCSI protocol
•
iSCSI Initiator-Target connection information
•
Install and setup of Microsoft
®
iSCSI Initiator, Microsoft Software iSCSI
Target, and Microsoft iSNS server
Pre-Requisites
Before you set up the iSCSI Target, ensure that you perform the following steps:
1
Download the latest Microsoft iSCSI Initiator software from Microsoft
support website at
support.microsoft.com
and install the Initiator (Host).
2
Install MS Software iSCSI Target on your storage system from the CD
provided.
3
Configure and assign the IP addresses for iSCSI network using the
"Worksheet" on page 10.
Before configuring iSCSI Targets, ensure that you perform the following tasks:
1
Create a few LUNs and reserve storage space to create virtual disks for
iSCSI Targets.
2
Right-click
iSCSI Target
and select
Properties
to configure dedicated iSCSI
NICs for iSCSI traffic (see Figure 3-1 "Creating iSCSI Targets" on page 23).
Method 1 (Discovery Using Target Portals)
To perform Target discovery, enter the IPaddress of one of the NICs of the
PowerVault storage system that is configured for iSCSI traffic in the Initiator
and thereby enabling the Initiator to discover all Targets of this Target server.
