Configuring iSCSI Targets for MPIO

If using iSCSI, configure the Microsoft iSCSI Initiator software to add target portals to the DataCore Servers and log on to those connections.

  • iSCSI targets should be configured prior to serving virtual disks from the storage servers to the hosts.
  • When making connections, do not select the Enable multi-path check box.

To configure iSCSI targets:

  1. On the host, discover the target portal using the IP address or DNS name.
  2. Log on to the target. Ensure that the connection will be automatically restored when the system restarts. The Session State should be Connected.
  3. Configure CHAP or mutual authentication as required.

See Microsoft iSCSI Initiator documentation for additional assistance if needed.
