34 Citrix XenServer with Dell SC Series Storage Configuration and Deployment | 3132-CD-V
5 XenServer Storage using iSCSI HBA
If using an iSCSI HBA to create an iSCSI SR, use the CLI from the XenServer host or the BIOS-level
management interface to update target information. Depending on which HBA is being used, the initiator IQN
for the HBA needs to be configured. Given the type of HBA used, the documentation for that HBA should be
consulted to configure the IQN. Once the IQN has been configured for the HBA, use Dell Storage Manager
Client to create a new LUN. However, instead of using the XenServer IQN, specify the IQN of the various
ports of the HBA. Do this for every XenServer host in the pool. The QLogic
®
HBA CLI is included in the
XenServer host and located at the following absolute path:
/opt/QLogic_Corporation/QConvergeConsoleCLI/qaucli
If using Emulex
®
iSCSI HBAs, consult the Emulex documentation for instructions on installing and configuring
the HBA.
5.1 Configure iSCSI HBA
Enter the following command:
[root@XenServer-01 ~]# /opt/QLogic_Corporation/QConvergeConsoleCLI/qaucli
If using Emulex iSCSI HBAs, consult the Emulex documentation for instructions on installing and configuring
the HBA.
For the purposes of an example, this guide illustrates how the QLogic iSCSI HBA CLI qaucli can be used to
configure an IP addresses on a dual-port QLE4062C iSCSI HBA adapter, add the iSCSI server to the
SC Series storage, and configure a LUN for the server. This setup will also utilize multipathing since there are
two iSCSI HBA ports.
1. From the XenServer console, launch a command prompt and execute the following:
/opt/QLogic_Corporation/QConvergeConsoleCLI/qaucli
Note: This configuration can also be performed during the server boot by pressing [Ctrl] + [Q] when
prompted.
