iSCSI initiator rules, guidelines, and support
This section describes the following iSCSI Initiator rules and guidelines.
General iSCSI initiator rules and guidelines
The following are the iSCSI Initiator rules and guidelines.
• iSCSI Initiators and iSCSI or iSCSI/FCoE ports can reside in different IP subnets. This requires
setting the iSCSI or iSCSI/FCoE module's gateway feature. See “set mgmt command” (page 236)
for more information.
• Both single path and multipath initiators are supported on the same iSCSI or iSCSI/FCoE
modules.
• Fibre Channel, iSCSI, and FCoE presented LUNs must be uniquely presented to initiators
running only one protocol type. Presenting a common LUN to initiators simultaneously running
different protocols is unsupported.
Apple Mac OS X iSCSI initiator rules and guidelines
The Apple Mac OS X iSCSI initiator supports the following:
• Power PC and Intel Power Mac G5, Xserve, Mac Pro
• ATTO Technology Mac driver
• iSNS
• CHAP
iSCSI Initiator operating system considerations:
• Host mode setting – Apple Mac OS X
• Multipathing is not supported
Microsoft Windows iSCSI Initiator rules and guidelines
The Microsoft Windows iSCSI Initiator supports the following:
• Microsoft iSCSI Initiator versions 2.08, 2.07
• Microsoft iSCSI Initiator for Windows 2012, Windows 2008, Vista, and Windows 7
• Multipath on iSCSI or iSCSI/FCoE module single or dual controller configurations
