ISCSI OFFLOAD FAQS
Q: How do I assign an IP address for iSCSI offload?
A: Use the Configurations tab in Broadcom Advanced Control Suite 3 (BACS).
Q: What tools should be used to create the connection to the target?
A: Use Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator (version 2.08 or later).
Q: How do I know that the connection is offloaded?
A: Use Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator. From a command line, type iscsicli sessionlist. From Initiator Name, an
iSCSI offloaded connection will display an entry beginning with “B06BDRV...”. A non-offloaded connection will display an
entry beginning with “Root...”.
