Configuring Targets
After configuring the QLA4010/4010C HBA, you can enter iSCSI targets you want
to discover. Start SANsurfer Control iX (see section 6.2), select your host and HBA,
then click the Target Settings tab. When the QLA4010/4010C HBA arrives from
the factory, there are no targets listed. Add iSCSI targets by either entering specific
iSCSI target information (IP address and iSCSI name, see section 6.5.2) or by
entering an IP address and discovering the devices behind that address (see
section 6.5.1).
If you want the targets to be bound to the QLA4010/4010C HBA, select the
Auto-bind Discovered Targets check box. All targets, whether entered manually
or found using discovery, will be automatically bound to the HBA (the check box in
the Bind column will be selected) when the target configuration is saved.
6.5.1
Configuring Using Discovery
Use the discovery mechanism to configure a target that supports and responds to
the SendTargets command by following these steps:
1. Start SANsurfer Control iX, select your host and QLA4010/4010C HBA, then
click the Target Settings tab.
2. Click the first available line under IP Address (see figure 6-14).
3. Enter the IP address of the target to which you want to connect. This target
must support the SendTargets command.
4. Leave the iSCSI Name field blank.
5. If you want all of the discovered targets to be restored when the
QLA4010/4010C HBA is reset, select the Auto-discover targets (Rediscover
on Save) check box.
6. Click Save. The QLA4010/4010C HBA does the following:
a. Resets (reboots the HBA only) if you have made changes to the firmware
configuration parameters in section 6.6.1.
b. Connects to the target
c. Queries the target through a SendTargets command
d. Discovers all devices allowed by the target
e. Shows the targets as dynamic (the Dynamic (read only) check box is
selected).
