Associating Targets (Devices) and Initiators
Tip:
To copy the initiator name if you are using the Microsoft initiator
driver and then paste it here, use the initiator configuration tool. Click
the Initiator Settings tab, highlight the initiator node name, right-
click, and copy the initiator node name.
b
(Optional) In the Enforce Initiator Connection from IP Address
box, if you want to use an additional level of authentication, use dotted
decimal notation to enter the IP address of the backup server. If
present, the IP address of the initiator is compared with the IP address
you enter here.
c
In Device ID List, select the ID for the target to which you are
assigning this initiator, and then click Submit.
Tip:
You can select multiple targets.
d
When the message appears that indicates the initiator is being added,
click OK to continue.
e
In Device ID List, select the ID for the target to which you are
assigning this initiator, and then click Submit.
Tip:
You can select multiple targets.
f
When the message appears that indicates all connections will be reset,
click OK to continue.
Repeat these steps for each target.
On each applicable server, use the management tool that came with your
iSCSI initiator to specify the target (REO Device) information.
To configure the REO as a backup-and-recovery appliance, you must
provide target (REO Device) and initiator (host) information. An iSCSI
name is required for both the targets and the initiators. After targets and
initiators have been specified, they must be assigned to each other. This
must be performed on the server by using the software or hardware
initiator, and on the appliance by using the REO GUI, which you
completed in the previous section.
Enter the unique
name of the
initiator, select the
ID, and click Submit.
