Configuring the 1 Gigabit iSCSI TOE PCI-X adapter
Use the following information to configure the 1 Gigabit iSCSI TOE PCI-X adapter in AIX®.
Note: You must complete this configuration in order for the adapter
to function correctly.
- Overview of configuration process
These are the steps in the configuration process. - Installing the device-specific storage support files
For the system to function correctly with AIX, storage devices often require support-files. These files might include special utilities or device specific object data manager (ODM) entries. - Configuring the adapter in AIX
Learn how to configure the adapter using AIX commands. - Updating the iSCSI targets flat file
When autodiscovery is not used, the 1 Gigabit iSCSI TOE PCI-X adapter obtains the iSCSI target descriptions from a flat file. The default file name is /etc/iscsi/targetshw. The information in this file must accurately describe the target devices for this adapter. - Configuring the storage device
To be visible to the adapter, storage devices must be correctly configured. Often the storage device must be informed of the adapter iSCSI name, and the adapter must be informed of the storage device iSCSI name. Additionally, either or both may need specific permissions to access the other side of the iSCSI connection.
