Preface
This document briefly explains the operations that need to be performed by the user in order to
connect an ETERNUS4000 model 300, 400, 500, or 600, or ETERNUS8000 model 700, 800,
900, 1100, 1200, 2100, or 2200 Disk storage system to a server running Solaris OS, HP-UX,
Windows®, Linux, or VMware ESX via an iSCSI interface.
This document should be used in conjunction with other applicable user manuals, such as those
for the ETERNUS4000 model 300, 400, 500, or 600, or ETERNUS8000 model 700, 800, 900,

2.1.3 Setting the Server iSCSI Host
Register the IP addresses and iSCSI names of each server that will access the ETERNUS Disk
storage system. At the same time, set the Host Response No. registered in "2.1.2 Setting the
Host Responses" (page 12).
Registering the IP addresses and setting up Host-Affinity Groups in "2.1.5 Creating and
Allocating LUN Groups (Setting Host-Affinity Groups)" (page 15) allows limits to be set on which
servers are allowed to access which ETERNUS Disk storage system LUNs.
See "Set iSCSI Host" of "ETERNUSmgr User Guide" for details.
2.1.4 Setting the Server Accessible LUN Groups (Setting Affinity Groups)
Create the server accessible LUN groups (Affinity Groups).
See "Set Affinity Group" of "ETERNUSmgr User Guide" for details.
2.1.5 Creating and Allocating LUN Groups (Setting Host-Affinity Groups)
Define the relationship between the server to be connected to the iSCSI port of the ETERNUS
Disk storage system and the created Affinity Group. This sets access restrictions to the
ETERNUS Disk storage system from each server.
See "Allocate Host-Affinity Group" of "ETERNUSmgr User Guide" for details.

When the server OS is HP-UX, Windows®, Linux, or VMware ESX, assign
the Affinity Groups starting from LUN0 and continuing in ascending order.
The server cannot recognize the ETERNUS Disk storage system LUNs
unless they are assigned in this order.
This restriction does not apply when the server is running a Solaris OS.
•When setting a LUN that has the same configuration for multiple iSCSI
paths for recognition, define the same Affinity Group.
•If the one-to-one relationship between IP addresses and LAN cards
cannot be determined, the Host-Affinity Group settings may not be
performed correctly.
In this case, trying various settings may be necessary until the server is
able to recognize the ETERNUS Disk storage system logical disks.

2.1.6 Setting CHAP Authentication
The ETERNUS Disk storage system supports the use of CHAP authentication. This section
describes the procedure for setting CHAP authentication in the ETERNUS Disk storage system.
This setting can be omitted.
Procedure
1Click the [Set iSCSI Host] under the [Configuration] or [Setting RAID/Setting
Host] menu.
2Click the [Add] button, and enter the server iSCSI information, user name, and
password.
Specify the user name and password of the server to be connected within the following
range.
•User Name
Up to 255 alphanumeric characters and symbols can be used.
•Password
Between 12 and 16 alphanumeric characters and symbols can be used if a LAN card is
used as the server adapter.
Between 12 and 100 alphanumeric characters and symbols can be used if an iSCSI
HBA is used as the server adapter.
End of procedure
To set CHAP authentication, set "CHAP" to "ON" in advance according to
"2.1.1 Setting the To-server Connection Type (Setting the CA Parameters)"
(page 11). To set bidirectional CHAP authentication, specify a user name
and password for the iSCSI port in advance.
If an iSNS server with the server iSCSI name registered does not
exist in the network, [Retrieve iSCSI Host] cannot be used.
When the iSNS server does not exist, enter the server iSCSI
information manually.
If the server iSCSI settings have already been performed, select the
server from the "iSCSI registration list", specify the user name and
password, and then click the [OK] button.

2.2 OS Specific Settings
Some settings are not required for some OSes and/or connection configurations.
Check the various cases described below, and perform any required settings.
2.2.1 Setting the CA Reset Groups
If the system configuration matches any of the items "System configuration that requires the
reset group setting" in the following table, every ETERNUS Disk storage system iSCSI port that
connects to the given server's access paths must be assigned to the same reset group.
For system configurations other than the following, use the default settings.
*1: For a Windows Server® 2008 or Windows Server® 2008 R2 based WSFC configuration, the reset
group settings are not necessary.
*2: When multiple ESX servers share ETERNUS Disk storage system LUNs, any ETERNUS Disk storage
system iSCSI port that connects a shared LUN to an ESX server must be assigned to the same reset
group, whether multi-paths are used for the ESX servers or not.
Example:When multiple ESX servers share ETERNUS Disk storage system LUNs, CM#0 Port#1
and CM#1 Port#1 must be assigned to the same reset group, even for single-path
configurations.

2.2.2 Setting the Sub System Parameters (for HP-UX only)
For HP-UX connection, select the [Disable Load Balance] checkbox in the "Mode 1" section of
the "Set Sub System Parameters" screen. This prevents sense responses that require access
retries from being issued when the ETERNUS Disk storage system is in an overload state.
For HP-UX server, improper logs may be recorded unless sense response
is restricted. Therefore, select the [Disable Load Balance] checkbox.
(Sense response should be restricted.) Note that changing the [Disable
Load Balance] setting does not affect on non-HP-UX servers.
