If you are using a Linux Server
If you configured CHAP authentication in the previous steps, you must restart iSCSI from the Linux
command line as shown below. If you did not configure CHAP authentication, you do not need to restart
iSCSI.
/etc/init.d/iscsi restart
Verify that the host server is able to connect to the iSCSI to SAS bridge by running the iscsi -ls command
as you did in target discovery. If the connection is successful, an iSCSI session will be established to
each iSCSI port on the iSCSI to SAS bridge.
Sample output from the command should look similar to this:

Guidelines for Configuring Your Network for iSCSI
This section gives general guidelines for setting up your network environment and IP addresses for use
with the iSCSI ports on your host server and iSCSI to SAS Bridge. Your specific network environment
may require different or additional steps than shown here, so make sure you consult with your system
administrator before performing this setup.
