HP StorageWorks EVA iSCSI Connectivity User Guide (5697-0511, August 2010)

NOTE:
The iSCSI driver package is included but is not installed by default. Install the package named
iscsi-initiator-utils-6.2.0.742-0.5.e15 during or after operating system installation.
1. Use the iscsiadm command to control discovery and connectivity:
# iscsiadm –m discovery –t st –p 10.6.0.33:3260
2. Edit the initiator name:
# vi /etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi
3. To start the iSCSI service use the service command:
# service iscsi start
4. Verify that the iSCSI service autostarts:
#chkconfig iscsi on
NOTE:
For more detail, see the man pages regarding the iscsiadm open-iscsi administration utility.
Installing and configuring for Red Hat 3, 4 and SUSE 8 and 9
To install and configure for Red Hat 3 and 4 and for SUSE 8 and 9:
NOTE:
The iSCSI driver is included with the Red Hat 4 and SUSE 9 distributions and is installed by default.
Configuration is the same for Red Hat 3, 4, SUSE 8 and 9.
1. Update /etc/iscsi.conf to include the IP address of your iSCSI target. A sample configuration
file might include entries like this:
DiscoveryAddress=33.33.33.101
For a more detailed description of the configuration file format, enter:
man iscsi.conf
2. Enter the following command to manually start iSCSI services to test your configuration:
/etc/init.d/iscsi start
3. Modify the /etc/initiatorname.iscsi file to reflect a meaningful name for the initiator.
For example:
InitiatorName=iqn.1987–05.com.cisco:servername.yourcompany.com
NOTE:
In most cases, the only part of the file requiring modification is after the colon.
