The device above will appear in the "Configure iSCSI LUN" menu once complete.

23. Once complete the iSCSI device should be available to the iInitiator
on the windows machine.

Part III - Windows iInitiator

This example is using Windows 2000 Advanced Server

1. At the Windows Machine desktop
Start > Programs > Microsoft iSCSI Initiator > Microsoft iSCSI Initiator
2. When the iSCSI Initiator GUI is up click on the Targets tab
3. The new device should be in the list of targets. Below is the device in this example

iqn.1986-03.com.sun:01:00144f0f83322.44884716.nas5x05iscsidisk1  Inactive

4. Click the Log On... button
5. Check mark the Automatically restore this connection when the system boots. Check Enable multi-path if desired.
6. Click on the Advanced... button.
7. Verify the Source IP is 129.153.118.69 for this example. The IP if the iSNS
server configured on the NAS head.
8. Check mark CHAP login information
9. Back space the name automatically entered in the User name field
Re-enter in the name "test" used in this example when creating the iSCSI access
group. The CHAP Initiator Name test was entered above in Part II.
10. Enter in the password created in the access group.
11. Ckick on the OK button
12. The device should now show Connected status.

13. The device is now available to the Windows machine as locally attached
device but communicating over IP. The new device will need to be installed.

Part IV - Create a Windows partition and filesystem

Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > Computer Management
1. Click on the "Disk Management" folder located in the object tree in the
computer mangement window.
