Recovery on Systems Running Windows XP, Linux, or VMware
This section provides a general overview of the steps required to reconnect to each
system in your IPSAN that’s running an OS besides Windows 2003 or Windows
Vista. For specific instructions, refer to the documentation provided with your
iSCSI initiators.
1
Remove all iSCSI target sessions from the iSCSI initiator.
2
Remove all iSCSI Storage Appliance data ports from the iSCSI initiator.
3
Add the IP address(es) of the data port(s) on your iSCSI Storage Appliance.
4
Your iSCSI initiator may automatically discover the iSCSI targets on your iSCSI
Storage Appliance. If not, manually add the iSCSI targets to the iSCSI initiator.
The recovery of each system is complete.
