Configuring SANs with C-Series switches, iSCSI, and
multi-path access to EVA4000/6000/8000 storage in a
Windows environment
To configure iSCSI in a Windows environment that includes multi-pathing and EVA storage:
1.
"Install the Microsoft iSCSI
2. "Enable iSCSI on the C-Series
3. "Test
connectivity" on page 33
4. "Present iSCSI hosts as virtual Fibre Channel
5. "Zone the iSCSI Initiator and Fibre Channel storage
6. "Creating an iSCSI
7.
"Configuring p-Class Blade servers for
These procedures are described in the following sections. They enable you to quickly set up a basic

NOTE:
HP recommends using GbE NICs and IP switches in an iSCSI environment.
For advanced configuration parameters with CHAP, VRRP, or VSANs, see the appropriate Cisco
documentation and the iSCSI Initiator documentation. For more information about p-Class Blade server
setup and configuration, consult the p-Class Blade server documentation.
