Before You Begin
• Ensure that a supported iSCSI initiator is installed on each system to which you’ll
be provisioning storage. (All windows 2003 systems must have the Microsoft
Software Initiator installed, even if a hardware iSCSI initiator is also installed.)
See “iSCSI Initiator Support by OS” on page 202 for a complete listing.
• Ensure that Adaptec Storage Manager’s Windows Support components are
installed on all systems running Windows 2003 (iSCSI Storage Hosts).
• Prepare these values for the iSCSI Storage Appliance:
• A name for the iSCSI Storage Appliance (the host name ); the name can be any
combination of alphabetical and/or numerical characters
• The network domain to which the iSCSI Storage Appliance belongs; the name
can be any combination of alphabetical and/or numerical characters
• A password for administrator-level (full) access to the CLI, if required
• A password for operator-level (limited) access to the CLI, if required
Note
The administrator- and operator-level passwords both default to
admin
if
you don’t customize them.
• IP addresses for each Ethernet Port on the iSCSI Storage Appliance
• The netmask of the iSCSI Storage Appliance
• The IP address to be used for broadcasts
• Optional:
•Default gateway address—The name or IP address of a router where packets
are sent if their destinations are not defined
•DNS server IP addresses—IP addresses of up to 3 systems that will act as

• If you are not on a DHCP network, ensure that IP addresses have been given to
all iSCSI Storage Appliances. See “Building an IP SAN Without a DHCP Server”
