SnapServer Administrator Guide
In System B's
/etc/iscsi.conf
, enter the following:
DiscoveryAddress=192.3.2.193
Username=b
Password=PasswordForB
System A and B can connect to their own iSCSI disks on the same SnapServer (IP
address 192.3.2.193) without the possibility of data corruption caused by sharing
the same iSCSI disk.
iSCSI Configuration for Novell NetWare
Consider the following information before implementing iSCSI on NetWare
servers:
• NetWare 6.5 with SP1 for NetWare is required, and the iSCSI packages must also
have been installed using the Custom Install method to utilize the NetWare iSCSI
initiator.
• The server initiating the connection should be a P-III or higher with a minimum
of 512MB of RAM and a GbE adapter. To validate the NetWare server’s ability to
communicate with the SnapServer, ping the SnapServer from the NetWare
server.
• With GuardianOS 5.0, CHAP authentication is supported on NetWare 6.5, SP7.
Note
CHAP authentication is not supported on versions of NetWare 6.5 earlier
than SP7, nor is it supported on pre-GuardianOS 5.0 systems.
• iSCSI implementation requires configuration using the NetWare Remote
Manager or the command line in the Server Console.
For more information regarding installation and configuration of required NetWare
components, refer to the documentation included with the Novell initiator
distribution.
iSCSI Configuration for VMware
Note
GuardianOS 4.2/4.3, SP2 or higher is required to configure iSCSI disks with
the VMware Initiator.
When you install VMware ESX Server or vSphere Server, the iSCSI Initiator is
automatically installed.
On connecting to the SnapServer targets, the VMware ESX 3.5 Server initiator will
find all iSCSI disks and automatically log into them. If iSCSI disks are shared across
multiple servers, you can use CHAP authentication to restrict the number of iSCSI
disks the VMware initiator can access. See “Creating iSCSI Disks” on page 91 for
more information. The VMware vSphere 4.0 Server initiator provides the option for
