Clean-up configuration tasks After initially configuring the host and MSA, to complete the configuration, be sure to: • Check the SMU to ensure that all initiators have been added. • Verify in the initiator software that the 1510i targets are present. • Logon to the available targets. • Ensure that the connection is automatically restored when the system boots. • Set up security measures (ACLs, VLANS, and CHAP). • In active/active multipath environments, distribute ownership of the LUNs between the two MSA controllers. Choose one of the following: • Automatic (also called implicit) load balancing (default)-MSA firmware automatically reassigns LUN ownership evenly between the controllers based on I/O loads of the LUNs. (Recommended) • Manual (also called explicit) load balancing-Through the SMU or the CLI, indicate the preferred path (controller ownership) for each LUN. Configuring the Microsoft iSCSI initiator IMPORTANT: When installing the multipathing components, be sure to install Both the DSM and the MPIO core components. If you are unfamiliar with the configuration and use of Microsoft's iSCSI initiator software, this section describes how to configure the Microsoft iSCSI initiator to connect to a dual-controller MSA1510i in a multipathing environment. (For single-controller configurations, omit all steps shown for multipath or dual-controller configurations.) For more information, see the iSCSI initiator user documents or online help. IMPORTANT: When installing the iSCSI initiator, grant use of the initiator to Everyone. 1. Open the iSCSI initiator. The iSCSI Initiator Properties window is displayed. 62 Configuration
