Configuring iSCSI storage: basic steps
The SAN Configuration wizard guides you through the SAN set-up process.
The wizard starts automatically if Adaptec Storage Manager detects an unconfigured management service on the local machine.
It also starts automatically if you add a new iSCSI storage appliance to a management service.
Note: If you have multiple iSCSI storage appliances,
Adaptec recommends that you complete all set-up tasks for one appliance before you continue with the next one.
Automatic SAN configuration
The following is an overview of the SAN set-up process:
- When you start Adaptec Storage Manager, the SAN Configuration wizard prompts you to login to the management service.
Note:
If the local machine is configured for iSCSI storage support but the management service is not installed, the
SAN Configuration wizard prompts you to Add a management service.
- The SAN Configuration wizard prompts you to add an iSCSI storage appliance to the management service.
- Configure network details for the iSCSI storage appliance.
- Configure pools for the iSCSI storage appliance.
- The SAN Configuration wizard prompts you to add an iSCSI storage host to the management service.
(The iSCSI storage host supports the provisioning of storage to your iSCSI storage appliance.)
- Configure volumes for the iSCSI storage appliance.
To exit the Configuration wizard, click Cancel.
Manual SAN configuration
After the initial set-up is complete, you can run the wizard, or any of its parts, manually:
Simply right-click
Configure SAN on the Management service object. Then,
use the Steps menu, in the left panel of the Configuration wizard, to move to the part you want.
