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. The iSCSI target can be a group of storage devices or an intermediate device
attached to storage devices. The iSCSI initiator and iSCSI target must connect to an IP
network. To have iSCSI settings available, refer to instructions stated in the G.1 section. The
G.2 section explains iSCSI settings.
G.1 PCIe/PCI/PnP Features

Note: Be sure to have configuration information for the iSCSI initiator and iSCSI target
before starting iSCSI settings.
