Configuring Using Discovery
Use the discovery mechanism to configure a target that supports and responds to
the SendTargets command by following these steps:
1. Start SANblade Control iX, select your host and HBA, then click the Target
Settings tab.
2. Click the first available line under IP Address (see figure 7-12).
3. Enter the IP address of the target to which you want to connect. This target
must support the SendTargets command.
4. Leave the iSCSI Name field blank.
5. Click Save. The QLA40xx HBA does the following:
a. Resets (reboots the HBA only)
b. Connects to the target
c. Queries the target through a SendTargets command
d. Discovers all devices allowed by the target
e. Makes these new targets available on the SANblade Control iX Target
Settings tabbed page
6. If you want to change any of the configuration parameters, follow the
instructions in section 7.8.3.
7. Restart the host PC for the operating system to recognize the new targets.
The discovery method is an excellent timesaver for finding and entering iSCSI
targets. You can use this method to find all available targets, delete targets you don’t
want, and then have access only to the remaining devices. This method prevents
you from having to enter iSCSI names for each target. In the following example,
there is an iSCSI target at IP address 10.14.64.150. Behind this target are two
available drives with iSCSI alias’ Drive1 and Drive2.
1. On the Target Settings tabbed page, under IP Address, enter IP address
10.14.64.150.
2. Leave the iSCSI Name field blank.
3. Click Save.
4. Click the Target Settings tab.
The following three targets appear:
❑ IP address 10.14.64.150
❑ IP address 10.14.64.150 with iSCSI alias Drive1
❑ IP address 10.14.64.150 with iSCSI alias Drive2
