Creating the first iSCSI volume on the SAN

Before a QLogic iSCSI Host Bus Adapter can access a new iSCSI volume it

must be created on the SAN and authentication configured to allow access to

the volume. To do this: Open the CMC (Centralized Management Console) and

create a new volume. Create a “Volume List” to contain QLogic iSCSI volumes

and allow read/write access. Then create an “Authentication Group” using the

iqn name(s) copied from the QLogic iSCSI initiator(s), or CHAP as required,

and add it to the same volume list. Additional volumes can be created and

simply added to the existing volume list. [Best Practice: Select the “Enable

load balancing” check box for improved performance when using the QLogic

iSCSI Host Bus Adapter initiator]
