Configuring Targets
After configuring the QLA40xx HBA, you can enter iSCSI targets you want to
discover. Start SANblade Control iX (see section 7.2), select your host and HBA,
then click the Target Settings tab. When the QLA40xx HBA arrives from the factory,
there are no targets listed. Add iSCSI targets by either entering specific iSCSI target
information (IP address and iSCSI name, see section 7.8.1) or by entering an IP
address and discovering the devices behind that address (see section 7.8.2).
