• Jumbo frames — Jumbo Ethernet frames are created when the maximum transmission units
(MTUs) are larger than 1500 bytes per frame. This setting is adjustable port-by-port.

when all iSCSI storage array port configurations are complete.
5.
Test the connection for each iSCSI storage array port.
Step 3: Perform Target Discovery From The iSCSI Initiator
This step identifies the iSCSI ports on the storage array to the host server. Select the set of steps in one of
the following sections (Microsoft Windows or Linux) that corresponds to your operating system.
Using Windows Server GUI Version
1.
Click
Start
→
All Programs
→
Administrative Tools
→
iSCSI Initiator
.
2.
Click the
Discovery
tab.
3.
Under
Target Portals
, click
Add
and enter the IP address or DNS name of the iSCSI port on the
storage array.
4.
If the iSCSI storage array uses a custom TCP port, change the
Port
number. The default is 3260.
5.
Click
Advanced
and set the following values on the
General
tab:
•
Local Adapter
—Must be set to Microsoft iSCSI Initiator.
•
Source IP
—The source IP address of the host you want to connect with.
•
Data Digest and Header Digest
—Optionally, you can specify that a digest of data or header
information be compiled during transmission to assist in troubleshooting.
•
CHAP logon information
—Leave this option unselected and do not enter CHAP information at
this point, unless you are adding the storage array to a Storage Area Network (SAN) that has target
CHAP already configured.
NOTE: IPSec is not supported.
6.
Click
OK
to exit the
Advanced
menu and click
OK
again to exit the
Add Target Portals
screen.
7.
To exit the
Discovery
tab, click
OK
.
• If you plan to configure CHAP authentication, do not perform discovery on more than one iSCSI
port at this point. See "Configure Host Access".
• If you do not plan to configure CHAP authentication, repeat step 1 thorough step 6 for all iSCSI
ports on the storage array.
Using Windows Server Core Version
1.
Set the iSCSI initiator service to start automatically using sc \\<server_name> config msiscsi
start=auto.
2.
Start the iSCSI service using sc start msiscsi.
3.
Add a target portal using iscsicli QAddTargetPortal <IP_address_of_iSCSI_port_on_storage array>.
For Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11
Configuration of the iSCSI initiator for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11
distributions is done by modifying the /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf file, which is installed by default when you
install MD Storage Manager. You can edit the file directly, or replace the default file with a sample file
included on the PowerVault MD series resource media.
