Creating a Remote Path (iSCSI)
Creating a Remote Path (Fiber Channel) (back to top)
To create a remote path under the fibre channel protocol:

In the Bandwidth field, enter the bandwidth (in MB per second) from 0.2 to 4000.0 that you want the path to have.
In the Remote Path 0 and the Remote Path 1 box:
Select the local port number from the pull-down list.
Select the remote port number from the pull-down list.
Click OK to save the setting and continue or Cancel to exit without creating a remote path.
Click Close to close the Remote Path window. The Remote Path is displayed.
Creating a Remote Path (iSCSI) (back to top)
To create a remote path under the iSCSI protocol:
Click Create Path. The Create Remote Path dialog box is displayed.
In the Create Remote Path dialog box:
The interface type: Fibre (channel) is not currently available and iSCSI is automatically selected.
Enter the Remote Array ID field.
Select the Remote Path Name input method. Enter the remote port name using 1 to 32 alphanumeric characters (”r;%”, ”*”, ”r;+”, ”r;-”r;, ”r;.”, ”r;/”, ”r;=”, ”r;@”, ”r;_”, ”r;:”, ”r;[”r; or ”r;]”) if you select Enter Remote Port Name Manually, and the disabled word is ”r;N/A” or ”r;---”.

Select the CHAP secret.
In the Remote Path 0 and the Remote Path 1 box:
Select the local port number from the pull-down list.
Enter the IP address of the remote port.
Enter the TCP number of remote port.
