Step 2: Connect a Computer to a Volume
In a PS Series group, each volume appears on the network as an iSCSI target.
When you create a volume, the group automatically generates an iSCSI target
name, with the volume name appended to the end of the target name.
An example of an iSCSI target name for a volume named
dbvol is as follows:
iqn.2001-05.com.equallogic.5-4a0900-2f00000-007eca92d654f160-dbvol
To connect a computer to a volume:
1. Install and configure an iSCSI initiator on the computer. Hardware and
software initiators are available from different vendors. Configure your
initiator using the instructions provided by the vendor.
Note: Dell recommends that you visit the Technical Support website to
obtain important information about using initiators to access PS Series
group volumes.
