For DroboElite customers only, when creating a volume for VMFS, select
the ‘Multi Host’ option in the volume setup screen. For EXT3, pick the
‘None’ option.
After you configure your DroboElite, you will then enter the iSCSI
connection information into the iSCSI initiator and format the volumes.
You can identify the volumes you created in ESX and Linux by looking at
the target node id. The target node id shows up in the form of:
iqn.2005-06.com.datarobotics:droboelite. tdb123456789 . id1
The second to last element is your DroboElite’s serial number (in italics)
and the final element is the volume’s id number (in bold). In Drobo
Dashboard, the id number for each volume is shown in the far left
column in the volume list within Volume Management window. The full
target node name can be seen in Drobo Dashboard’s main window and
Volume Management window by hovering your mouse over the volume
name. See page 18 for an example.
Please see www.drobo.com/vmware/ and www.drobo.com/linux/ for

Username and Password Note for VMware and Linux customers
(DroboElite only)
If you set a CHAP password for any volume(s) during the initial setup,
the assigned default username is “DroboElite” for any volumes on your
DroboElite. Setting a username for a volume does not appear in Drobo
Dashboard even if you use it to set CHAP password(s).
