To set up the data connections on a Vess iSCSI subsystem:
1. Add a new portal. See “Adding iSCSI Portals” on page 236.
Note which iSCSI port you chose for the portal..
2. Assign the new portal to the target.
3. Map the target to a LUN. See “Adding a LUN Map” on page 223.
Connect your iSCSI data cable to the iSCSI port you chose for the new portal.
See “iSCSI Storage Area Network (SAN)” on page 50.
4. Add your iSCSI intiators to the Vess’s initiator list.
