The following steps will configure the MSiSCSI Initiator Service to connect to the Everpure FlashArray iSCSI ports using the iSCSI Initiator Control Panel applet.

  1. Open up the Control Panel and double-click on the iSCSI Initiator.
  2. The Microsoft iSCSI dialog will open indicating that the service is not running. Click Yes to start the service and also set it to startup automatically when the server reboots.
  3. After the MSiSCSI Initiator Service has started the Properties dialog will be opened.

    4. After the MSiSCSI Initiator Service has started the Properties dialog will be opened. Click the Configuration tab to retrieve the iSCSI Qualified Name (IQN).

    Note:

    Write down or cut-and-paste the Initiator Name value.

    This step has started the Microsoft iSCSI Service so the Initiator Name could be retrieved which is required for the next section.
