Configuring the QLA4050/QLA4052 iSCSI Initiator
QLogic's QLA4050/4052 is an iSCSI adapter that appears as a SCSI adapter instead
of a network adapter in Windows Device Manager. Before it can successfully
connect to iSCSI targets, you must:
• Set initiator parameters (for example, initiator name, alias, IP address).
• Enter target information (for example, target portal information and target iSCSI
name).
• Configure the adapter's BIOS. Refer to article 14837 on the Adaptec Support
Knowledgebase at www.adaptec.com.
You can use either the SANSurfer Management application that came with the
QLA4050/4052 or Microsoft's iSCSI initiator applet to set initiator parameters and
enter target information.
