Authenticating iSCSI Targets

To authenticate iSCSI targets, first specify the initiators. To specify initiators, perform the following steps:

  1. Be sure you are connected to a switch that contains an IPS module.
  2. Open Device Manager.
  3. Select iSCSI from the IP menu. The iSCSI dialog is displayed.
  4. Select the Initiators tab if it is not already selected.

    This table lists iSCSI initiators, VSAN membership, and, if applicable, persistent node and port WWN addresses. Use the Create dialog is used to assign the VSAN and addresses.

  5. Click the Create button. The Create iSCSI Initiators dialog is displayed.
  6. Enter the initiator name in the Name field.
  7. Enter the VSAN membership number in the VSAN Membership field.
  8. Enter all the node and port information.
  9. When finished, click Create to add this initiator to the table. Click Close to exit the Create iSCSI initiators dialog without adding the initiator. Like physical N ports, iSCSI Initiators will appear in the Fabric Login Table.
