creating volume giving access to window server - cant get it to work
I have eql on firmware 10.0.3, and SAN HQ on 3.5
we are trying to use our old EQL to backup VMs from veeam using windows 2012 server.
they "how to's" we find online are for older versions, and do not match step by step.
we created the new volume on EQL, gave it a name, made it 10 GB thin provisioned, but where I see on older versions it has iscssi access with an option to Limit to iSCISSI initiator name, I see
- copy access from another volume
- select or define access control policies
- select one or more basic access points
- none
I select Define one or more basic access points, click on add, it asks for description, Chap account name, iscssi initiator name, and IP address.
I enter the iscsi initiator name from the windows server, select Volumes only, then click next on through to finish, but i am ever able to discover it on the iscsi initiator on the windows server.
what am I missing here?
I tried adding the IP address of the server, but that made no difference either.

Hello,
Pick the last option "basic access points" That will look like the older access types. You can set the initiator name from the Windows Host. Suggest you copy/paste.
Or at the CLI you can do:
GrpName>volume select VOLUMENAME access create initiator INITATORNAME
E.g.
GrpName>volume select demo01 access create initiator INITIATORNAME
Make sure you can ping the Group Address (or Discovery Address if using dedicated management feature) and ALL the physical ports on that EQL member.
Regards,
Don
