Deleting an iSCSI server connection
Deleting an iSCSI server connection stops access to volumes by servers using that server connection.
Access to the same volume by other servers continues.
1. In the navigation window, select the iSCSI server connection you want to delete.
2. Click the Details tab.
3. Click Server Tasks, and select Delete Server.
4. Click OK to delete the server.
Completing the iSCSI Initiator and disk setup
After you have assigned a server connection to one or more volumes, you must configure the
appropriate iSCSI settings on the server. For information about iSCSI, see “HP StoreVirtual Storage
using iSCSI and Fibre Channel” (page 241).
Persistent targets or favorite targets
After you discover targets in the iSCSI initiator, you can connect to the volumes. When you connect,
select Add this connection to the list of Favorite Targets. This sets up persistent targets that
automatically reconnect after a reboot.
For persistent targets, you also need to set up dependencies on the server to ensure that the
applications on the server start only after the iSCSI service starts and the sessions are connected.
HP StoreVirtual DSM for Microsoft MPIO settings
If you are using the DSM for MPIO and your server has two NICs, select the Enable multi-path
option when connecting to the volume, and connect from each NIC.
For more information about DSM for MPIO, see the HP StoreVirtual Storage DSM for MPIO
Deployment Guide.
Disk management
You must also format, configure, and label the volumes from the server using the operating system’s
disk management tools.
Planning Fibre Channel server connections to management groups
Add each server connection that needs access to a volume to the management group containing
the volume. After you add a server connection to a management group, you can assign the server
connection to one or more volumes or snapshots.
NOTE: A server connection can be configured for both iSCSI and Fibre Channel connectivity.
However, there must be only one connection to a volume by a server.

If you are using application-managed snapshots, you must assign a controlling server
