Guidelines for Configuring Your Network for iSCSI 51
7
To specify the location of the file that you want to import into the
Lmhosts file, select
Import LMHOSTS
and then select the file in the
Open
dialog box.
8
Enable or disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP.
If using Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Core Version, use the netsh
interface command to configure the iSCSI ports on the host server.
Linux Host Setup
To set up a Linux host network, you must configure the IP address and
netmask of each iSCSI port connected to the storage array. The specific steps
depend on whether you are configuring TCP/IP using DHCP or configuring
TCP/IP using a static IP address.
NOTE: The server IP addresses must be configured for network communication to
the same IP subnet as the storage array management and iSCSI ports.
If you are using DHCP (root users only):
1
Edit the
/etc/sysconfig/network
file:
NETWORKING=yes HOSTNAME=mymachine.mycompany.com
2
Edit the configuration file for the connection you want to configure, either
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX
(for Red Hat Enterprise Linux)
or
/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth-id-XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
(for SUSE
Enterprise Linux).
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
Also, verify that an IP address and netmask are not defined.
3
Restart network services using the following command:
/etc/init.d/network restart
