8 Data Migration from Dell PS Series or PowerVault MD3 to Dell EMC SC Series Storage using Thin Import | 3041-BP-EM
By default, iSCSI initiators that use discovery try to log in to group targets protected by CHAP, even if they do
not have the correct access credentials. In the case of Thin Import, when a remote connection is created from
an SC Series to a PS Series array, the SC Series initiators automatically discover and try to connect to the
VDS/VSS target on the PS Series array. Authentication to the VDS/VSS target will fail, causing all other
connections to the array to drop and reconnect. If an import is taking place during a reconnect, the process
will fail.
By enabling the iSCSI discovery filter, SC Series initiators will discover only those targets (volumes) for which
they have been granted access, and will not try to authenticate to the VDS/VSS target.
To enable the iSCSI discover filter on the PS Series array, perform the following steps:
1. Log in to the EqualLogic Group Manager using group administrator credentials. In the group
subtree, click Group Configuration.
2. Click the iSCSI tab.
