The
Connect by using
section allows you to specify which iSCSI adapter to use and the Source IP.
The
Local adapter
should only differ from Microsoft iSCSI Initiator if an iSCSI offload card has been
installed. For the purpose of this guide, we shall only use the Microsoft iSCSI Initiator. Leaving this
setting as
Default
will also use the Microsoft iSCSI Initiator.
The
Source IP
is used to specify upon which network adapter the discovery will be done. In most
cases you will want to leave this as default. If multiple network interfaces are installed in the Server
and you wish to select a particular interface, select the IP address of that network interface from
the drop down list.
Note:
You may need to select a specific local adapter in order to chose
certain source IP addresses.
CRC/Checksum
settings allow you to specify whether the discovery is done using Data and/or
Header Digests. Unless the iSCSI device is on a poor quality network where data corruption is
likely, it is recommended that Header and Data Digests are left disabled, as performance will be
affected.
If the iSCSI Gateway has CHAP enabled, or you wish to authenticate the iSCSI Gateway, click on
the checkbox
CHAP logon information
to enable CHAP. Now enter the username and target secret
that are configured on the iSCSI Gateway. If you wish to authenticate the iSCSI Gateway, select
Perform mutual authentication
.
