Configuring SANs with C-Series switches, iSCSI, and multi-path access to EVA4000/6000/8000 storage in a Windows environment To configure iSCSI in a Windows environment that includes multi-pathing and EVA storage: 1. "Install the Microsoft iSCSI Initiator" on page 31 2. "Enable iSCSI on the C-Series switch" on page 31 3. "Test connectivity" on page 33 4. "Present iSCSI hosts as virtual Fibre Channel hosts" on page 33 5. "Zone the iSCSI Initiator and Fibre Channel storage WWPNs" on page 36 6. "Creating an iSCSI host" on page 38 7. "Configuring p-Class Blade servers for iSCSI" on page 42 These procedures are described in the following sections. They enable you to quickly set up a basic multi-path connection between a Windows iSCSI host and Fibre Channel storage . Be sure to verify that your planned multi-path iSCSI solution conforms to the rules in the Operating system constraints, page 30 section. NOTE: HP recommends using GbE NICs and IP switches in an iSCSI environment. For advanced configuration parameters with CHAP, VRRP, or VSANs, see the appropriate Cisco documentation and the iSCSI Initiator documentation. For more information about p-Class Blade server setup and configuration, consult the p-Class Blade server documentation.
