Manual Configuration Of iSCSI

The following sections contain step-by-step instructions for configuring iSCSI on your storage array.
However, before beginning, it is important to understand where each of these steps occurs in relation to
your host server or the storage array environment. The following table shows each iSCSI configuration
step and where it occurs.
Table 7. Host Server Vs. Storage Array
This Step is Performed on the Host Server Using
the Microsoft or Linux iSCSI Initiator
3. Perform target discovery from the iSCSI initiator.
6. (Optional) Configure CHAP authentication on
the host server.
7. Connect to the storage array from the host
server.
Step 1: Discover the Storage Array (Out-of-band
Management Only)
The procedure is different for IPv4 and IPv6.

Default Management IPv4 Port Settings

By default, the storage array management ports are set to Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
If the controllers on your storage array are unable to get IP configuration from a DHCP server, it times out
after approximately three minutes and falls back to a default static IP address.
The default IP configuration for Controller 0 is:
Port 0:192.168.129.101
This Step is Performed on the Storage Array Using
MD Storage Manager
1. Discover the storage array.
2. Configure the iSCSI ports on the storage array.
4. Configure host access.
5. (Optional) Configure Challenge Handshake
Authentication Protocol (CHAP) authentication on
the storage array.
8. (Optional) Set up in-band management.
