iSCSI Initiator setup
The IP host or iSCSI Initiator uses an iSCSI driver to enable target resource recognition and attachment
to EVA iSCSI connectivity over IP. An iSCSI driver may be part of the operating system (software
initiator) or embedded on an iSCSI HBA (hardware initiator). An iSCSI driver is configured with the
Gigabit Ethernet IP address of each mpx100/100b iSCSI port with which the host is to transport SCSI
requests and responses.
The iSCSI Initiator sees the EVA LUNs as if they were block-level drives attached directly to the server.
iSCSI Initiator setup for Windows (single-path)
To set up the iSCSI Initiator for Windows:
1. Install the iSCSI Initiator:
a. Download the HP StorageWorks iSCSI Connectivity Option for Enterprise Virtual Arrays
software kit from the HP website: http://h18006.www1.hp.com/products/storageworks/
evaiscsiconnect/index.html . Select Support for your product, then Download drivers and
software.
NOTE:
The software kit is available in a .zip or .iso file. You can write the .iso file to a
CD-ROM or copy the .zip file to a folder.
b. Insert the CD-ROM. Run Launch.exe if the CD-ROM does not start automatically.
c. Click Install iSCSI software package, accept the default settings, and reboot the server.
