Getting ready

To configure the access to an iSCSI target server, we'll need following setup in place:

  • Discoverable IP address of the iSCSI target server and the port number to use.
  • CHAP authentication details (if any).
  • The iSCSI array should be configured to allow access to the iSCSI initiator. You will need the iSCSI adapter IQN handy for this activity.
  • The iSCSI array has to be configured to allow the necessary LUNs to be discovered.
