Create an iSCSI Initiator Group

To create an iSCSI initiator group, you must know either the iSCSI Qualified Name (IQN) or IP address, or both for each initiator being added to the group.

  1. Choose Manage → Data Access → Initiator Groups.
  2. Click the + icon to create a new initiator group.
  3. Enter a name for the initiator group.
    For multi-protocol array groups, you must also specify Fibre Channel or iSCSI in the Protocol dropdown list.
  4. From the Subnets dropdown list, choose one of the options:
    • Use all configured subnets
    • Use selected subnets

    If you chose Use selected subnets, a list of available subnets appears.

    1. (Optional) Highlight the available subnets you want to associate with this initiator group and click Add.
  5. To add initiators, click Add under Initiators.
  6. Enter a Name, the IQN of the client system, and the IP Address of the client system for the first initiator.
    Repeat this step to create the number of initiators that you want.
  7. Click Create.
The new iSCSI initiator group is ready to be applied to a volume.
