, repeat step 1
thorough step 6 for all iSCSI ports on the storage array.
If you are using Windows Server 2008 Core Version:
1
Set the iSCSI initiator service to start automatically:
sc \\<server_name> config msiscsi start=auto

<IP_address_of_iSCSI_port_on_storage array>
If you are using Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6,
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10, or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11:
Configuration of the iSCSI initiator for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP1 distributions is done by modifying the
/etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf file, which is installed by default when you install
MDSM. You can edit the file directly, or replace the default file with a sample
file included on the PowerVault MD series resource media.
To use the sample file included on the media:
1
Make a copy of the default
/etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf
file by saving it to another
directory of your choice.
2
Edit the following entries in the
/etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf
file:
a
Edit or verify that the
node.startup = manual
line is disabled.
b
Edit or verify that the
node.startup = automatic
line is
enabled. This enables automatic startup of the service at boot time.
c
Verify that the following time-out value is set to 30:
node.session.timeo.replacement_timeout = 30
d
Save and close the
/etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf
file.
3
From the console, restart the iSCSI service with the following command:
service iscsi start
4
Verify that the iSCSI service is running during boot using the following
command from the console:
chkconfig iscsi on
