Step 2 Install Microsoft iSCSI Initiator.
Restart the server after the installation is complete.
You can download the installation program of Microsoft iSCSI Initiator from the Microsoft website.
Version 2.01 or later is required.
If you are going to install the UltraPath, do not select Microsoft MPIO Multipathing Support for
iSCSI for Installation Options when installing Microsoft iSCSI Initiator.
You need to configure Microsoft iSCSI Initiator only when the host connects to iSCSI host ports on the
storage device.

Step 1 Log in to the Linux-based application server as user root. Check whether the host has
identified the HBA. If the host already has the driver for the HBA, go to step 2.
Log in to the application server as user root.
Run cat /etc/issue to query the operating system version. The output is as follows:
in
#cat /etc/issue
Welcome to SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP2 (x86_64) - Kernel \r (\l).
ta
Check whether the host has identified the Fibre Channel HBA. SUSE 10 has an HBA driver.
Run cat /sys/class/fc_host/host5/node_name to query the WWN of the HBA. If this file does
not exist, go to step 2. The output is as follows:
ob
# cat /sys/class/fc_host/host5/node_name

Step 2 If the host did not identify the Fibre Channel HBA, you must manually install the HBA driver.
Download the RPM package from the official website of the HBA vendor and upload it to the
application server.
Install the RPM package compatible with the existing SUSE Linux operating system.
Log in to the application server as user root.
Run rpm ivh XXX where XXX is the name of the Fibre Channel HBA driver RPM package
to install. Then perform step 1 again to check the result.
