Windows envir
onment
To confi gure iSCSI in a Windows environment that includes multi-pathing and EVA storage:
1.
"Install the M
icrosoft iSCSI Initiator" on page 31
2.
"Enable iSCSI on the C-Series switch"onpage31
3.
"Test connectivity" on page 33
4.
"Present iSCSI
hosts as virtual Fibre Channel hosts"onpage33
5.
"Zone the iSCSI Initiator and Fibre Channel storage WWPNs" on page 36
6.
"Creating an iSCSI host" on page 38
7. "Configuringp-ClassBladeserversforiSCSI" on page 42
These procedures are described in the following sections. They enable you to quickly set up a basic
multi-path connection bet ween a Windows iSCSI host and Fibre Channel storage .
Be sure to verify that your planned multi-path iSCSI solution conforms to the rules in the Operating
system const
raints, pag e 30 section.
NOTE:
HP recommends using GbE NICs and IP switches in an iSCSI environment.
For advanced configuration parameters with CHAP, VRRP, or VSANs, see the appropriate Cisco
documentation and the iSCSI Initiator documentation. For more information about p-Class Blade server
setup and configuration, consult the p-Class Blade server documentation.
