Chapter 7. TotalStorage DS300 installation

259

7.1.9 Use SANsurfer and verify current configuration

The installation of the SANsurfer utility is complete. On the desktop is now a
SANsurfer icon. Use this icon to start SANsurfer and check the current HBA
configuration.

1. After SANsurfer has started an empty window is shown. Depending on the

chosen option during installation the left site of the window may have less
tabs than shown below. SANsurfer will look like the figure below when all
agents and GUIs are installed. Select the

iSCSI HBA

tab.

3. Localhost is chosen by default. An IP address of a remote system where the

agent is installed can be specified here as well. Click
