4. Locate the IP address for the port(s) and make a note of it.
5. Use an iSCSI Initiator to enable the host to connect to devices on the HP D2D, see also

iSCSI Initiator ” on page 57. In the web browser on the host machine, type in the IP address of
the HP D2D to connect to it.
iSCSI Initiator
NOTE:
FC products may be configured with a mixture of FC and iSCSI attached devices. If you are configuring
your HP D2D to have iSCSI devices (for hosts attached via the LAN ports), this section is relevant.
However, if you are configuring it to have only FC network devices (attached via the FC ports), it is
not necessary; you must use the Web Management interface to create FC devices, see
“
To create a new device ” on page 113.
iSCSI is a protocol for sending SCSI commands via Ethernet. It defines how SCSI packets are translated
to Ethernet packets and connects to the required devices. An iSCSI initiator may be hardware or
software and should be running on each host. If the host does not have an iSCSI initiator, it will not
be able to connect to the library configured on the HP D2D Backup System and will not be able to
perform backups.
