Basic iSCSI
See the diagram on page 333, Figure 1.
To set up the data connections on a VTrak iSCSI subsystem:
1. Add a new portal.
See “Adding iSCSI Portals” on page 194 or page 264.
Note which iSCSI port you chose for the portal.
2. Add a new target.
See “Adding iSCSI Targets” on page 190 or page 259.
3. Assign the new portal to the target.
See “Assigning a Portal to an iSCSI Target” on page 192. The CLU assigns
portals when you add the target. See page 259.
4. Map the target to a LUN.
See “Adding a LUN Map” on page 180 or page 280.
5. Connect your iSCSI data cable to the iSCSI port you chose for the new
portal.
See “iSCSI Storage Area Network (SAN)” on page 34.
6. Add your iSCSI intiators to the VTrak’s initiator list.
