Add Discovery Target Portals

A discovery target portal refers to the Discovery IP address of a storage array group. A host uses the discovery target portal of the array to discover the iSCSI targets available on the array.

The HPE Storage Connection Manager GUI does not establish connections from host initiator ports to target portals that are not in the same subnet. You may be able to establish such a connection manually. However, the Connection Service automatically deletes the connection, because it crosses subnets, and replaces it with an iSCSI session that does not cross subnets.
NOTE:

If you do not know the iSCSI Discovery IP address of the array group:

  • In the array GUI, choose Administration → Network, then click Configure Active Settings from the Summary page.
  • In the array OS CLI, type netconfig --info active
  1. In the HPE Storage Connection Manager GUI, click the System Settings tab.
  2. Click Add….
    The list of Storage array groups appears.
  3. Select an array group and click OK.

    The array group name and its Discovery IP addresses appear in the Discovery IP list.

    The online volumes on the array group appear in the Discovered Volumes list on the Volumes tab.

    See Connect to an iSCSI Target for more information on connecting volumes to iSCSI targets.
