Configuring the iSCSI Adapter BIOS
Overview
Configuring the BIOS involves the following tasks:
1 Optional—Configure the initiator by entering the iSCSI initiator
name (iqn name), initiator IP address, and initiator subnet
mask.
2
Configure a single bootable target by entering the iSCSI portal
name (
iSCSI
) and target IP address and making the target bootable.
3 Rescan to make the target visible.
4 Rescan again to the establish connectivity between the initiator
and the target.
5 Set target login and availability parameters.
This section discusses only how to configure a bootable target. If
you need to configure any nonbootable targets, proceed with the
driver and operating system installation, then use:
■ iSCSI Configuration Manager (for Windows). Refer to the
online Help.
■ iConfig utility (for Linux). Refer to the iConfig Utility for Linux
User’s Guide.
