To prepare an external storage device as an iSCSI target, request your storage administrator to configure the external storage device as an iSCSI target, including creating a single LUN (virtual disks) for each partition. For more information, refer to the vendor documentation.
Note: The scripts provided by Unisys expect the iSCSI target to have only a single LUN; the scripts will partition the LUN into the required Linux OS disk drive partitions.
Be sure to obtain the following information from your storage administrator:
Name of the iSCSI target.
If configured, user ID and password for the target.
IP address of the iSCSI target.
If configured on the external storage device, the name of the iSCSI initiator.
The iSCSI initiator is the partition on the partitionable enterprise partition platform (PEPP). If your storage administrator configured the external storage device with a name, be sure to use the same name in the Partition Image Name field when commissioning your partition—the initiator name must match the name of the external storage device.
