Installing the device-specific storage support files
For the system to function correctly with AIX, storage devices often require
support-files. These files might include special utilities or device specific
object data manager (ODM) entries.
Updating the iSCSI targets flat file
When autodiscovery is not used, the 1 Gigabit iSCSI TOE PCI-X adapter
obtains the iSCSI target descriptions from a flat file. The default file name
is /etc/iscsi/targetshw. The information in this file must accurately describe
the target devices for this adapter.
Configuring the storage device
To be visible to the adapter, storage devices must
be correctly configured. Often the storage device must be informed of the
adapter iSCSI name, and the adapter must be informed of the storage device
iSCSI name. Additionally, either or both may need specific permissions to
access the other side of the iSCSI connection.
