Chapter 7: Access the RTX using iSCSI Initiator

software

The process for using initiator software to access your RTX varies depending on the software used.

Read the documentation accompanying the software for details. However, the general steps are as

follows:

a. Launch the Initiator application

b. Type in the IP address of the Giga LAN connection on the RTX (determined in step 6). This will be a

different IP address than the one used to access the GUI.

c. The RTX volume will mount to your computer and appear as an internal SCSI drive. Newly-created

volumes will need to be formatted before they can be used. If you purchased the RTX with drives

preinstalled by WiebeTech, the volume(s) will already have been created and formatted appropriately for

your computer.

Below are additional instructions for two common iSCSI Initiator utilities:

Microsoft iSCSI Initiator for Windows

After you launch the initiator you'll see a window with several tabs, with the "General" tab opened by

default. Select the "Discovery" tab. Under Target Portals, click the "Add" button and enter the IP address

for the RTX’s Giga LAN port. Next, select the "Targets" tab. You should see a selection for the RTX-IR in

this Targets tab. Select that target and click "Log on." All the default settings are fine so just click OK. If

the log-on is successful you'll now be able to use the RTX-IR just like any other disk attached to your

computer.

Global SAN iSCSI Initiator for Mac OS

After you launch the initiator you'll see a window with several tabs, with the "Portals" tab opened by

default. Press the add button (“+”) and enter the IP address for the RTX’s Giga LAN port. Click OK.

Next, select the "Targets" tab. You should see a selection for the RTX-IR in this Targets tab. Select that

target and click "Log on." All the default settings are fine so just click “OK” or “Connect”. If the log-on is

successful you'll now be able to use the RTX-IR just like any other disk attached to your computer.
