Setting Up a Host to Use VNXe Hyper-V StorageConfiguring the host to connect to a VNXe iSCSI ServerBefore an initiator can establish a session with a target, the initiator must discover wherethe targets are located and the names of the targets available to it. To obtain thisinformation the initiator uses the iSCSI discovery process. The VNXe iSCSI Servers supportdiscovery with or without an iSNS server. Without iSNS discovery, you must add the targetinformation to the Microsoft iSCSI Initiator. With iSNS discovery, the initiator queries theiSNS server where all iSCSI initiators and targets register themselves, and the serverresponds with a list of available targets. When the target information is available to theMicrosoft iSCSI Initiator, you can connect the host initiator to the target so the host canaccess the virtual disks in its Hyper-V datastores.To configure the Windows host initiators:Unless you are using VNXe iSCSI targets in a clustered environment, do not give more thanone initiator access to the same Hyper-V disk. Conflicts can occur if more than one initiatortries to write to the Hyper-V disk. If the Hyper-V disk is formatted with the NTFS file systemin Windows, simultaneous writes can corrupt the NTFS file system on the Hyper-V disk.As a best practice, do not give an initiator access to a Hyper-V disk that does not exist.For VNXe iSCSI servers configured with multiple IP addresses, you need to add targetportals for each of the IPs configured for each server.Each VNXe iSCSI Server is a target. If a VNXe system has two iSCSI Servers, it has twotargets. Each target has one session. Each IP address associated with a VNXe iSCSI Serveris a target portal. If a VNXe iSCSI Server has two IP addresses associated with it, it has twotarget portals. For multiple paths to the host, a VNXe iSCSI Server must have two IPaddresses (two target portals) associated with it. You must add each target portal, whichyou want to connect to the host, to the Microsoft iSCSI Initiator on the host when youconfigure an initiator to connect to an iSCSI Server. For a single-path configuration withthe host, you add one target portal. For a multi-path configuration, you add the two targetportals.For a single-path configuration, each session has one connection. For a multi-pathconfiguration, each session has two connections — one connection for each IP address(target portal).Go to the section below for the host’s configuration:For Windows Server 2008 SP2 or earlier:◆◆◆Single-path configuration“Configuring a Windows Server 2008 SP2 or earlier initiator to connect to a VNXeiSCSI Server — single-path configuration” on page 19Multipath configuration with iSCSI Multiple Connections per Session (MCS):“Configuring a Windows Server 2008 SP2 or earlier initiator to connect to a VNXeiSCSI Server — multi-path configuration with MCS” on page 21Multi-path configuration with PowerPath“Configuring a Windows Server 2008 SP2 or earlier initiator to connect to a VNXeiSCSI Server — multi-path configuration with PowerPath” on page 2518 Using a VNXe System with Microsoft Windows Hyper-V

On the host, start the Microsoft iSCSI Initiator.2. If mutual CHAP authentication is configured on the VNXe iSCSI Server, then in theMicrosoft iSCSI Initiator:a. Click the General tab and select Secret.b. In the CHAP Secret Setup dialog box, enter the mutual CHAP secret for the VNXeiSCSI Server.If the VNXe system has multiple iSCSI Servers, this secret is the same for all. Youcan find this secret in the CHAP Security section on the iSCSI Server Settings pagein Unisphere (Settings > iSCSI Server Settings).c. Click OK.Task 2: Discover the VNXe iSCSI Server in an environment — Windows Server 2008 SP2 or earlier in a single-pathconfigurationIf the host initiator is configured for optional initiator Challenge Handshake AuthenticationProtocol (CHAP) on the VNXe iSCSI Server, you need the secret (password) specified forthe initiator on the VNXe system.Configuring the host to connect to a VNXe iSCSI Server 19
