Configuring Boot From SAN Using iSCSI-Based Dell Storage Arrays

Configuring the PowerVault MD3000i Storage Array

Perform the following steps to register a host and create a virtual disk to be used as the boot volume.

Manually Register a Host

1. Launch the Dell PowerVault Modular Disk Storage Manager (MDSM), and connect to the PowerVault

MD3000i storage array to be used by the host for booting.

2. Click Configure, and select Configure Host Access (Manual).

3. Type a host name in the Enter host name text box. The host name can be an informal name; it

does not have to be a name used to identify the host to the network.

The Select host type drop-down menu appears.

4. Select the operating system of your host in the Select host type drop-down menu, and then click

Next. Select Windows Server 2003/Server 2008 Non-Clustered since we are creating this LUN for

dedicated boot image storage.

5. In the Configure Host Access (Manual) - Specify iSCSI Initiators screen, click New.... Enter the

iSCSI initiator name and the iSCSI initiator label in the Enter new iSCSI initiator dialog box, and

then click Add.

NOTE: The initiator name entered here must match the name of the host server that will be

booting from this array.

6. Enter the IQN of the host initiator in the iSCSI initiator name field. Record this information in the

Configuration Worksheet provided on page 35.

NOTE: Leave the iSCSI Initiator label setting at Default. The fully-qualified IQN format is:

as shown in the following example.

7. Click Add and then click Next.

8. Accept the default, No: This host will NOT share access to the same virtual disks with other

hosts, since we are configuring this target to contain an operating system boot image. Then, click

Next. The Confirm Host Definition page appears. Your host definition should then appear as

shown in the following example.

9. Click Finish, and then click No when asked if you want to define another host.
