Configuring Broadcom iSCSI Using BACS

For more information, see Using Broadcom Advanced Control Suite 4.
1. Open BACS.
2. Select the Broadcom NetXtreme II C-NIC iSCSI adapter. If the C-NIC iSCSI adapter is not present, then select the VBD
device and enable iSCSI offload by selecting iSCSI Offload Engine from the Resource Reservations area of the
Configuration tab. See Viewing and Configuring Resource Reservations.
3. Select the Configuration tab.
4. DHCP is the default for IP address assignment, but this can be changed to static IP address assignment, if this is the
preferred method of IP address assignment.
NOTE: The IP address assignment method cannot be changed if the adapter was used for boot.
5. Select Apply and close BACS.

Initiator.
1. Open Microsoft Initiator.
