Thanks to the economic climate, the iSCSI or poor man’s SAN is popular choice. \u00a0Configuring it for a one to one connection is simple using the defaults.<\/p>\n
Now for a multi path setup, where every server has two HBA connecting to two switches and on to the SAN. Things don’t look simple any more.<\/p>\n
To connect the server to the iSCSI SAN storage, there are three main steps. Note in some organizations, there are dedicated SAN admins and system admins, you may need to book a time slot for both <\/strong>of them.<\/p>\n Firstly, you need to logon to the SAN, in the iSCSI initiator software, Discovery tab, enter your SAN IP addresses.<\/p>\n Secondly, on the SAN you should be able to see your server’s connection. Map the server to the appropriate volume\/s.<\/p>\n Thirdly, back to the server, in the iSCSI initiator software, Targets tab, click on Logon and enter the server HBA IP address and the target IP address. \u00a0Repeat for all combinations.<\/p>\n On the same Targets tab, click on the Details button to view all the Multi path and \u00a0disks.<\/p>\n This is an excellent starter guide<\/a>. For complex setup, this is very good.
