Connecting a volume to a configured iSCSI host on the Everpure FlashArray is required before configuring MSiSCSI.

  1. Open the Everpure FlashArray Management interface and log into the FlashArray.
  2. Click on the Storage tab.
  3. Click on the + in the Hosts section and select Create Host.
  4. Select the newly created host, Server01, then click the Host Ports tab. Click the 'hamburger menu' to the right, then click Configure iSCSI IQNs.
  5. The Configure iSCSI IQNs dialog box will open. Enter the IQN from the previous section then click Add.
  6. Click on the + in the Volumes section to create a volume. For this example the name iSCSI-TestVolume with a size of 500 G is being used. A different name and size can be used.
  7. After creating the new volume click the Connected Volume (0) tab then the 'hamburger menu' to the right and select Connect Volumes menu item.
  8. The Connect Volumes to Host dialog will open. Click on the iSCSI-TestVolume (or whatever volume name was created) then click Confirm.
  9. Now the new host, Server01, is connected to the new volume, iSCSI-TestVolume, with the host port IQN set to iqn.1991-05.com.microsoft:server01.
