The software iSCSI adapter configuration workflow includes these steps.

Procedure

Activate the Software iSCSI Adapter
You must activate your software iSCSI adapter so that your host can use it to access iSCSI storage.
Modify General Properties for iSCSI Adapters
You can change the default iSCSI name and alias assigned to your iSCSI adapters. For the independent hardware iSCSI adapters, you can also change the default IP settings.
Set Up iSCSI Networking
If you use the software or dependent hardware iSCSI adapters, you must configure connections for the traffic between the iSCSI component and the physical network adapters.
Configure Dynamic or Static Discovery for iSCSI
With dynamic discovery, each time the initiator contacts a specified iSCSI storage system, it sends the SendTargets request to the system. The iSCSI system responds by supplying a list of available targets to the initiator. In addition to the dynamic discovery method, you can use static discovery and manually enter information for the targets.

What to do next
