You should perform this step: • before mapping virtual disks to host servers • any time you connect new host servers to the storage array 1 Launch MD Storage Manager. 2 Click on the Configure tab, then select Configure Host Access (Manual). 3 At Enter host name, enter the host server to be available to the storage array for virtual disk mapping. This can be an informal name, not necessarily a name used to identify the host server to the network. 4 In the Select host type drop-down menu, select the host type. Click Next. 5 If your iSCSI initiator shows up in the list of Known iSCSI initiators, make sure it is highlighted and click Add and then Next. Otherwise, click New and enter the iSCSI initiator name. - In Windows, the iSCSI initiator name can be found on the General tab of the iSCSI Initiator Properties window. - In Linux, the iSCSI initiator name can be found in the etc/initiatorname.iscsi file or by using the iscsi-iname command. Click Next. 6 Choose whether or not the host server will be part of a host server group that will share access to the same virtual disks as other host servers.
