Setting Up Your iSCSI Storage
Appliance and IP SAN
Once you have installed Adaptec Storage Manager, your next task is to configure
your iSCSI Storage Appliance and set up your iSCSI storage. Adaptec Storage
Manager provides a wizard to guide you through these steps.
An Overview of the Setup Process
Adaptec Storage Manager provides automatic prompts and a wizard to help you
configure your iSCSI Storage Appliance and set up your iSCSI storage. This is an
overview of the seven basic steps:
1
Start Adaptec Storage Manager. Adaptec Storage Manager then prompts you to
log in to a Management Service and add your iSCSI Storage Appliance.
2
The wizard opens automatically and prompts you configure your iSCSI Storage
Appliance.
3
Register your iSCSI Storage Appliance.
4
The wizard prompts you create RAID pools ( pools ). Pools can be used
immediately to provision storage; you don’t have to wait for them to finish
building and verifying.
5
The wizard prompts you provision storage to your systems automatically
(systems running Windows 2003 only) or manually.
6
Re-open the wizard to add more iSCSI Storage Appliances, create more pools,
and provision more storage, as required.
Once setup in Adaptec Storage Manager is complete, two steps remain:
7
Log in to manually provisioned iSCSI storage.
Note
Setup time depends on the amount of storage and number and types of
systems in your IP SAN.
