You can also delete an iSCSI server connection from the management group. For more information,
see
“Deleting an iSCSI server connection” (page 200)
.
CAUTION:
•
If you change the load balancing or CHAP options, you must log off and log back on to the
target in the iSCSI initiator for the changes to take effect.
•
Editing the
iqn
or CHAP server settings may interrupt access to volumes. If necessary, or if
the server is sensitive to disconnections, stop server access before editing a server.
1.
In the navigation window, select the iSCSI server connection you want to edit.
2.
Click the
Details
tab.
3.
Click
Server Tasks
, and select
Edit Server
.
4.
Change the appropriate information.
5.
Click
OK
when you are finished.
6.
If you have changed the Enable Load Balancing option, a message opens, notifying you to
log servers off and back on to the volumes.
This may entail stopping the applications, disconnecting them, reconnecting the applications
to the volumes, and then restarting them.
Deleting an iSCSI server connection
Deleting an iSCSI server connection stops access to volumes by servers using that server connection.
Access to the same volume by other servers continues.
1.
In the navigation window, select the iSCSI server connection you want to delete.
2.
Click the
Details
tab.
3.
Click
Server Tasks
, and select
Delete Server
.
4.
Click
OK
to delete the server.
Completing the iSCSI Initiator and disk setup
After you have assigned a server connection to one or more volumes, you must configure the
appropriate iSCSI settings on the server. For information about iSCSI, see
“HP LeftHand Storage
using iSCSI and Fibre Channel” (page 233)
.
Persistent targets or favorite targets
After you discover targets in the iSCSI initiator, you can connect to the volumes. When you connect,
select
Add this connection to the list of Favorite Targets
. This sets up persistent targets that
automatically reconnect after a reboot.
For persistent targets, you also need to set up dependencies on the server to ensure that the
applications on the server start only after the iSCSI service starts and the sessions are connected.
HP LeftHand DSM for Microsoft MPIO settings
If you are using the DSM for MPIO and your server has two NICs, select the
Enable multi-path
option when connecting to the volume, and connect from each NIC.
For more information about DSM for MPIO, see the HP LeftHand Storage DSM for MPIO Deployment
Guide.
Disk management
You must also format, configure, and label the volumes from the server using the operating system’s
disk management tools.
