In this section the configuration of MSiSCSI will be continued using the iSCSI Initiator tool.
-
Click on Discover Portal... button which will display the Discover Target Portals dialog.
Note:
These are the iSCSI Services which were configured in the Setup iSCSI on Windows Servertopic. These need to be in place before proceeding.
4. Enter the IP Address or DNS name for the target ports on the Everpure FlashArray. Leave the Port default set to 3260.
Repeat Step 4 for each iSCSI service you have configured on the FlashArray.
5. Once all of the Target Ports have been configured the Discovery tab Target portals list should look the below example. This could differ based on the number of iSCSI initiators that are in the FlashArray.
6. Click on the Targets tab and check that the Everpure FlashArray is Connected.
Note:If a FlashArray volume has not been connected to the host where the iSCSI Initiator Service is being setup you will see the error, Authorization Failure.
This is the same FlashArray iSCSI Qualified Name (IQN) that can be seen from the FlashArray management interface.
7. Select the Connected Discovered targets and click Connect.
8. The Connect To Target dialog will apperar. Click Enable multi-path then click Advanced... button.
9. In the Advanced Settings dialog select the Microsoft iSCSI Initiator from the Local adapter dropdown. Select the appropriate IP Address from the Initiator IP dropdown. Select the Target portal IP from the dropdown that will map to the Initiator IP.
Repeat Step 9 for all of the Initiator IPs and map to their appropriate Target portal IP.
10. After completing the setup of the Initiator IPs and Target Portal IPs click the Favorite Targets tab and all of the configured paths will be visible.
11. Open up the FlashArray Management interface, click System tab, click Connections, click Host Connections and select host that was just configured. The Host Port Connectivity should show Redundant connections.
Note:If the deployed switches in the fabric support changing the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) from 1500 to 9000 (Jumbo Frames) this can be accomplished using the FlashArray Management GUI. Or by running the Windows PowerShell cmdlets from the Everpure PowerShell SDK.
