Overview of configuration process

These are the steps in the configuration process.

  1. Install any device-specific storage device support files. See Installing the device-specific storage support files.
  2. Use the smit command to configure the adapter in AIX. See Configuring the adapter in AIX.
  3. Update the iSCSI targets flat file. See Updating the iSCSI targets flat file.
  4. Configure the storage device. See Configuring the storage device.
Notes:
  1. The adapter does not support autonegotiation. Connected devices should be set to 1 gigabit-per-second only.
  2. Some Ethernet switch configurations exhibit degraded reliability when configured in a high fan-in topology. Observe conservative LAN resource allocation practices when planning Ethernet storage networks.
