Configuring iSCSI On Your Storage Array

The following sections contain step-by-step instructions for configuring iSCSI on your storage array.
However, before you begin, it is important to understand where each of these steps occur in relation to
your host server or storage array environment. The following table shows each iSCSI configuration step
and where it occurs.
Table 6. Host Server Vs. Storage Array
This Step is Performed on the Host Server Using
the Microsoft or Linux iSCSI Initiator
