Configuring Specific Targets

To configure a specific iSCSI target, follow these steps:

NOTES:
• If you want to modify these parameters for an existing target, use the following procedures as appropriate (skipping steps 2 through 5).

• If you want to delete a target, select the target and click the red minus sign (-) on the right.

1. In the SANsurfer iSCSI HBA Manager main window HBA tree, select the HBA port. Click the Target Settings tab. The Target Settings tabbed page displays (see Target Settings tab).
   The target configuration section displays the current target configuration and enables you to configure these and additional targets on this HBA port.
2. In the target configuration section, click green plus sign (+) on the right. A new row displays.
3. The IP Address dialog box displays. Enter the IP address of the target to which you want to connect. Click OK.
4. Double-click the iSCSI Name column. Enter the iSCSI name of the target.
5. If you want to enable the target, select the target's Enable Target check box. If this check box is not selected, the target is visible, but not accessible, to the HBA.
6. If you want the targets to be bound to the QLA4xxx HBA, select the Auto-bind Discovered Targets check box. All targets, whether entered manually or found using discovery, will be automatically bound to the HBA (the check box in the Bind column will be selected) when the target configuration is saved.
7. If you want to bind this target to the HBA (the Auto-bind Discovered Targets check box was not selected), select the target's Bind check box.
8. Enter other targets as desired.
9. If you want all of the targets to be restored when the HBA is reset, select the Auto-discover targets (Rediscover Prior SendTargets on Save) check box.
10. If you want to change any of the configuration parameters, follow the instructions in Changing the Target Configuration Parameters.
11. Do one of the following:

• Click Save. The QLA4xxx HBA does the following:

• Resets (reboots the HBA only) if you have made changes to the firmware configuration parameters in Changing the Target Configuration Parameters
• Connects to the target
• Makes these new targets available on the Target Settings tabbed page

• Right-click the target and select Login/Save Device. The Security Check dialog box displays. In the Enter Password box, type the password. Click OK. The QLA4xxx HBA connects to the specific target (without disrupting any other connections) and saves this configuration.
• If you want to log out and then reconnect to the target, right-click the target and select Logout/Reconnect. The Security Check dialog box displays. In the Enter Password box, type the password. Click OK.

12. QLogic recommends restarting the host PC for the operating system to recognize the new targets.
13. The QLA4xxx HBA restarts and attempts to connect to the configured targets.
