NOTE: IPSec is not supported. 7) Click OK. Using Windows Server 2008 Core Version 1) Set the iSCSI initiator services to start automatically (if not already set): sc \\ config msiscsi start= auto 2) Start the iSCSI service (if necessary): sc start msiscsi 3) If you are not using mutual CHAP authentication, skip to step 4. 4) Enter the mutual CHAP secret you entered for the iSCSI to SAS bridge: iscsicli CHAPSecret 5) Remove the target portal that you configured on the iSCSI to SAS bridge during target discovery: iscsicli RemoveTargetPortal 6) You will reset this IP address under CHAP authentication in the following steps. Add the target portal with CHAP defined: iscsicli QAddTargetPortal [CHAP_username][CHAP_password] where [CHAP_username] is the initiator name [CHAP_password] is the target CHAP secret Using Linux Server 1) Edit the /etc/iscsi.conf file to add the entries below for each iSCSI target: For example, your edited /etc/iscsi.conf file might look like this: DiscoveryAddress=172.168.10.6 OutgoingUsername=iqn.1987-05.com.cisco:01.742b2d31b3e OutgoingPassword=0123456789abcdef Page 7

where
[
CHAP_username]
is the initiator name
[CHAP_password]
is the target CHAP secret
Using Linux Server
1)
Edit the /etc/iscsi.conf file to add the entries below for each iSCSI target:
For example, your edited /etc/iscsi.conf file might look like this:
