Super X11DPT-BH User's Manual Appendix G Configuring iSCSI Settings Internet small computer system interface (iSCSI) is a protocol that defines how block-level data transports between the iSCSI initiator and iSCSI target over an Internet protocol (IP) network. The iSCSI initiator (client/host) enables a connection to the iSCSI target and initiates I/O requests.

Page 199 Appendix G: Configuring iSCSI Settings iSCSI Mode Use this feature to set the iSCSI mode. The options are Disabled, Enabled, and Enabled for MPIO. Multipath I/O (MPIO) is a feature that allows the system to route I/O through the available paths if the active path fails (be sure to have more than one physical path connected to the system).
Page 200 Super X11DPT-BH User's Manual Connection Retry Count The valid range is 0~16. Use this feature to enter the number of logon sessions allowed for the iSCSI initiator to restart with the iSCSI target if the first logon connection fails. Connection Establishing Timeout Use this feature to set the logon connection establishing timeout (in milliseconds).
Page 201 Appendix G: Configuring iSCSI Settings OUI-format ISID This feature displays the default ISID in OUI format. The value (in six bytes) is derived from the MAC address of the NIC port that you selected earlier. Configure ISID Press <Enter> to configure the ISID. The default value is derived from the last three bytes of the OUI-format ISID.
Page 202 Super X11DPT-BH User's Manual Enable DHCP Use this feature to disable/enable dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) server service for the iSCSI initiator. The options are Disabled and Enabled. Note: Set the feature, Enable DHCP, to Disabled if you would like to specify the iSCSI initiator IP address/subnet mask/gateway.
