CONSIDERATIONS WHEN USING ISCSI SOFTWARE OR HARDWARE INITIATORS FOR ESX4.1
ON THE MD3200I STORAGE ARRAY
Taking advantage of new ESX4.1 features requires some new steps to be taken by ESX
administrators. Configuration is done via either the vSphere GUI or using vCLI. The
remainder of this whitepaper focuses on installation and configuration of an iSCSI
software initiator connection to a PowerVault Series SAN. Each of these commands can
be found inside the VM
WARE ISCSI SAN CONFIGURATION Guide and where names and IP
Addresses are used, they will be different for each environment. This serves as an
example and demonstration of how to configure a new vSphere4 ESX4.1 server correctly
and connect it to the PowerVault SAN. The screenshots displayed in this whitepaper are
for reference only and may vary from site specific implementations.
