Page 8 1. QUICK INSTALLA TION GUIDE These instructions will get the user up and running quickl y using the most basic settings and topology. This setup assumes that both y our management and iSCSI host computer are running Windows 2000/XP. It also assumes that you r iSCSI Host computer will be running the Microsoft iSCSI initiator.
Page 9 1.8 Type in https://192.168.1.200:4443/enter.php as the UR L (see Glossar y) and press enter. The following Login page should appear: 1.9 Enter the default Username and Password and click on the Login tab.
Page 10 1.10 You should now be at the Home page. Click on the “iS CSI Target” tab. 1.11 Now you can start configuring y our unit for y our final iSCSI topolo gy (Se e section 1.16 Figure B). Modify the iSCSI Target Port settin gs acc ordin gly. Ensure that the iSCSI Host computer and the iS5xx iSCSI Bridge are on the same subnet.
Page 11 1.12 Confirm changes. 1.13 Once you’ve confirmed changes, the iSCSI Target page will renew with your updated settings..
Page 12 1.14 In order for your settin gs to take affect, you will need to reboot the unit. Cli ck on the Diagnostics tab. On the Diagnostics page, click on “Reboot Device”. The unit will begin reboot after 5 seconds. Wait until the “Status” LED on the Bridge turns solid green.
Page 13 1.17 Connect the SCSI devices to the iS5xx iSCSI Brid ge. 1.17.1 Connect the cable from the SCSI devices to the 68-pin SCSI port on the iS5xx iSCSI Bridge. 1.17.2 Make sure the IDs of the SCSI devices connected to the iS5xx iSCSI Bridge are set to a values other than 7.
Page 14 1.22 Power on your iSCSI Host computer. Open the Microsoft Initiator. Click on th e “Initiator Settings” tab. Modify your “initiator node name” accordingl y .
Page 15 1.23 Click on the “Target Portals” tab. Add an available portal..
Page 16 1.24 Enter an Address that matches the “IP Address” you entered in step 1.11. Enter the Socket port that matches the “iSCSI Protocol Port” you entered in step 1.
Page 17 1.25 Your Target Portal is now configured..
Page 18 1.26 Click on the “Available Targets” tab. Click on Refresh. After the screen h as refreshed, all available targets through the iS5xx iSCSI Bridge will be displayed. You will need to “Log On” to each one before y our iSCSI Host computer is able to fully communicate with the SCSI targets.
Page 19 2. DESCRIPTION 2.1 General. Congratulations on yo ur purchase of Paralan’s i S5xx series iSCSI Bridge! Paralan’s family of iSCSI Bridges make it possibl e to merge parallel SCSI storage into IP (iSCSI) Storage Area Netw orks (SANs).
Page 20 3.1.16 256MB SDRAM. 3.1.17 833MHz Freescale processor. 3.1.18 Capable of assigning a unique iSCSI name to each device on the SCSI side of the bus. 3.1.19 Can automatically obtain an IP address from a DHCP server or the user can manually assign an IP address, Subnet mask a nd Gateway to the i SCSI Protocol Port and Web Port.
Page 21 4.3 SCSI Topology. Paralan’s family of iSCSI Brid ges may be connected an ywhere on the SCSI bus. All models are supplied with on-board terminators enabled. In most cases the iSCSI Bridge will be placed at the end of the SCSI bus and terminators should NOT be disabled (see F igure C).
Page 22 4.4 SCSI Cables. The most important ingredient in the successful instal lation of any SCSI system is proper cabli ng. Many r ound SCS I cable s are, at best, marginal on single-ended systems and will not work at all on differential SCSI s ystems.
Page 23 4.5 Connecting SCSI Devices. SCSI cable installation i s easy. This installation assumes the topology in Figure C of section 4.3. 4.5.1 Simply connect a SCSI cable into Paralan’s iSCS I Bridge’s 68-pin Hi gh Density “P” SCSI bus Connector (see Image 1 of section 4.
Page 24 4.7 Ethernet Cables. You must choose your Ethernet cable carefull y dependin g upon your configuration. If you are connecting your i SCSI Bridge directly to a management computer, a crossover cable is necessar y. If you are connect ing through an Ethernet switch or router, a straight-throu gh cable will suffi ce.
Page 25 4.10 LEDs. There are 5 LEDs on the iSCSI Bridge that can be used for status/diagnostics (see Image 2 of section 4.6) 4.10.1 SCSI Activity (Yellow). The SCSI Activity LED is labeled “SCS I” on the iS520 and iS550. During normal operation, th is LED turns on when there is SCSI activit y on the SCSI bus.
Page 26 4.10.5 Ethernet Link (Yellow/Green). The Ethernet Link LED is labeled “LINK” on the iS520 and iS550. This LED illuminates solid green if the iSCSI Bridge is connected to another active Ethernet component and has negotiated a data transmission rate of 10 or 100Mb/sec.
Page 27 4.11.5 The Login page below should appear. Enter your Username and Password and click on the Login tab. The default Username is “admin” and the default Password is “password”. 4.11.6 You should now be at the Home page. You are now read y to confi gure your iSCSI Bridge (see section 5).
Page 28 5. CONFIGURING THROUGH WEB-BAS ED UTILITY 5.1 General. Paralan’s iSCSI Bridge Web-based Util ity conf i gures the unit for many different environments and applications; monitors boot status and updates firmware. Please note that your unit’s serial number is depicted at the upper ri ght hand corner of each web page of the utilit y.
Page 29 5.3 Diagnostic Page. The Diagnostics Page’s three purposes: 5.3.1 To ensure a clean boot of t he iSCSI Brid ge. If an y part of the iS C SI Bridge unit fails to initialize, it will be indicated on this pa g e. In such an event, refer to the Troubleshooting Appendix E of this book.
Page 30 5.4 Web Port Page. By using the Web Port page, the user can modif y the “IP Address”, “Subnet Mask”, “Gatewa y ” and “ W eb Port” settings for the W e b-based Utility. By default, there are two network ports on the iSCSI Bridge connected to the same physical RJ45 connector; the Web Port and the iSCS I Target Port.
Page 31 5.5 SCSI Bus Page. This page is used to configure certain parameters specific to the SCSI bus interface. Namely: 5.5.1 SCSI ID: You must choose a unique value for thi s ID. No other device on the SCSI bus can have a duplicate ID. 5.5.2 Termination: The iSCSI Brid ge has on-board terminators.
Page 32 5.6 iSCSI Target Page. By using the iSCSI Target page, the user can modify the “IP Address”, “Subnet Mask”, “Gatewa y ”, “iSCSI Na me Prefix”, “iSCSI Protocol Port”, “Max Connections” and “Authentication Method” settings for the iSCS I Target on the Bridge.
Page 33 5.6.1.1 One-Way CHAP. One-Way CHAP sets a “Username” and “Secret” in the Target (iS5xx iSCSI Brid ge ) that an initiatin g device must use in order for the Target to authenticate the Initiator for communications.
Page 34 5.6.1.2 Mutual CHAP. Mutual CHAP sets a Secret for both the Target (iS5xx iSCSI Bridge) and Initiator. You must choose “ CHAP” on the “Authentication Method” pull-down menu before you can enable “Mutual” CHAP in the “CHAP Direction” pull-d own menu .
Page 35 5.7 Updating Firmware. The iS5xx allows y ou to update its firmware via the Web- based Utility. Follow the steps below: 5.7.1 Click on the Admin page tab and click the “Proceed” button. 5.7.2 You will need to choose the file y ou wish to upload usin g t he Browse button and then click the Up gra de button.
Page 36 5.7.3 Wait until the “Upgrade Complete” message appe ars and the Status LED returns to a solid green state before continuing to the next file y ou wish to update. If you wish to update an additional file, repeat steps 5.7.1 through 5.7.3. 5.
