If you are using Windows Server 2008 Core Version
1 Set the iSCSI initiator services to start automatically (if not already set):
sc \\<server_name> config msiscsi start= auto
2 Start the iSCSI service (if necessary):
sc start msiscsi
3 Log on to the target:
iscsicli PersistentLoginTarget < Target_Name > < Report_To_PNP >
< Target_Portal_Address > < TCP_Port_Number_Of_Target_Portal > * * *
< Login_Flags > * * * * * < Username > < Password > < Authtype > *
< Mapping_Count >
where
< Target_Name > is the target name as displayed in the target list. Use the iscsicli
ListTargets command to display the target list.
< Report_To_PNP > is T, which exposes the LUN to the operating system as a storage device.
< Target_Portal_Address > is the IP address of the iSCSI port on the controller being logged in
to.
< TCP_Port_Number_Of_Target_Portal > is 3260.
< Login_Flags > is 0x2 to enable multipathing for the target on the initiator. This value allows more
than one session to be logged in to a target at one time.
< Username > is the initiator name.
< Password > is the target CHAP secret.
< Authtype > is either 0 for no authentication, 1 for Target CHAP, or 2 for Mutual CHAP.
NOTE:
<Username>, <Password> and <Authtype> are optional parameters. They can be replaced with an
asterisk (*) if CHAP is not used.
< Mapping_Count > is 0, indicating that no mappings are specified and no further parameters are
required.
* * * An asterisk (*) represents the default value of a parameter.
For example, your logon command might look like this:
iscsicli PersistentLoginTarget
iqn.1984-05.com.dell:powervault.6001372000ffe333000000004672edf2
3260 T 192.168.130.101 * * * 0x2 * * * * * * * * * 0
