PRELIMINARY
Sample SSR212PP2i and SSR212PPi Configurations
The following examples show viable iSCSI configurations in order of increasing
complexity. Use them to design your own iSCSI environment. For example, you need to
determine whether you want to connect your iSCSI storage system directly to a server, set
up a dedicated iSCSI LAN for the storage system and its iSCSI initiators (a recommended,
simple configuration) or include the iSCSI storage system in a shared configuration that
requires more network expertise and potentially complex Challenge Handshake
Authentication Protocol (CHAP) security. (Note that to avoid system downtime, you
should set up and enable CHAP before your servers and the iSCSI storage system begin
exchanging data.)
