Perform iSCSI-specific tasks

For the iSCSI protocol, you configure the switches and configure networking on the array side and the host side. Then you verify the IP network connections.

Configuring the switches - iSCSI, Windows
You configure the switches according to the vendor’s recommendations for iSCSI. These recommendations might include both configuration directives as well as code updates.
Configuring networking - iSCSI Windows
You can set up your iSCSI network in many ways, depending on your data storage requirements.
Configuring array-side networking - iSCSI, Windows
You use the ThinkSystem System Manager GUI to configure iSCSI networking on the array side.
Configuring host-side networking—iSCSI
You must configure iSCSI networking on the host side so that the Microsoft iSCSI Initiator can establish sessions with the array.
Verifying IP network connections - iSCSI, Windows
You verify Internet Protocol (IP) network connections by using ping tests to ensure the host and array are able to communicate.
Recording iSCSI-specific information for Windows
Select the iSCSI worksheet to record your protocol-specific storage configuration information. You need this information to perform provisioning tasks.
