Connecting to discovered targets

This section describes how to connect a specific portal on a discovered target.

SAN Volume Controller supports only one iSCSI session between an initiator and a target. Ensure that you do not attempt to connect to the same target (SAN Volume Controller node) more than once.

Open the Targets tab of the iSCSI Initiator control panel. The list of discovered targets shows an entry for each SAN Volume Controller node on which you performed discovery.

Select the node that you want to connect to from the list and click Log on... (click Connect on Windows® Server 2008). From the Connect to Target window, you can select whether to have the connection restored automatically at boot or to enable multipathing for the iSCSI target.
If you want to connect to a specific portal on the target, for example, to perform load balancing between the node Ethernet ports, or to configure CHAP authentication, you can access these settings by clicking Advanced....
Click OK. The status for the selected targets changes from Inactive to Connected.
