3. Start your Web Administration console (consult your HP StorageWorks NAS server
documentation for instructions). An iSCSI tab appears on the Web Administration
console. All features related to the iSCSI Feature Pack can be found under this tab.
4. Click on the Status: Information message that appears at the top of the console. You
will see an alert that your iSCSI Feature Pack system has not been configured. Click to
configure the following:
•
Enter key codes to activate the iSCSI Feature Pack.
•
Specify an Internet Storage Name Service (iSNS) server. iSNS facilitates device
discovery in storage networks. For the iSCSI Feature Pack, iSNS facilitates the
naming, registration, and discovery of iSCSI Logical Units (LU) by host initiators. By
default, iSNS is disabled. If you have an external iSNS server, you can set the
system to use it. If you do not have an external iSNS server, you can use the local
one that is provided by the iSCSI Feature Pack (and runs as an independent
Windows service when enabled).
The HP NAS 500s, 1200s, and 1500s systems have a single pre-allocated LUN and
•
single file system. To allocate storage to the iSCSI target, create a virtual file-based
device using NTFS (NT File System) volume space. You will need to specify how
large it should be.
5. Install an iSCSI initiator on each of your host systems.
iSCSI initiator software/hardware is available from many sources and needs to be
installed and configured on all servers that will access shared storage.
•
For Windows hosts, you can download a software initiator from Microsoft's website:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserversystem/storage/iscsi.mspx
For Linux hosts, you can download a software initiator from SourceForge.net:
•
http://sourceforge.net/projects/unh-iscsi
For NetWare hosts, you can download a software initiator from Novell's website:
•

6. Create your LUs. Refer to the Logical Units section for more details.
7. Add all of your hosts and assign them to your LUs. Refer to the Hosts section for more
details.
This document provides all of the information you need to get started with your iSCSI
Feature Pack.
