TASK 1: CONFIGURE ISCSI ON A STORAGE SYSTEM
In this task, you will log in to your assigned storage system and configure the iSCSI services.
STEP ACTION
1.
Login to your assigned storage systems command-line interface.
2.
Enter this command to verify that the iSCSI service is running:

system> iscsi status
If iSCSI is not running, determine if it is properly licensed.

system> license
NOTE: Look for the license titled: iscsi.

If iSCSI is not licensed, enter the license code provided by your instructor:
system> license add XXXXX
Start the iSCSI services:

00:00:00:00:00:00 (VIA Provider)
In a production environment, you should assign one or more dedicated interfaces to your iSCSI
configuration. In this exercise environment you will use the configured interface e0a and e0b.
For a high-availability configuration, you would use at least two interfaces on different physical
interfaces.
5.
