Iscsi Configuration For Red Hat Or Suse Linux - Adaptec 5325302057 User Manual

iSCSI Configuration for Red Hat or SUSE Linux

This section provides information on supported iSCSI HBAs and initiators for Red
Hat and SuSE Linux operating systems.
Configuration Notes
The QLogic QLA4050/4052 initiator supports Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, QU4,
and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 or 10. This initiator provides CHAP
authentication and can connect to multiple targets simultaneously. The SANSurfer
utility is included with the HBA to initiate, monitor, and change iSCSI targets using
its text-based user interface.
Installation and configuration information for the QLogic QLA4050/4052 HBA is
included with the adapter and is also available for download from the QLogic Web
site. For information on the installation and configuration of the UNH and in-box
initiators, proceed to the next sections.
