• Reviewing pre-Installation requirements

•Powering up the VLS

•Conﬁguring the VLS

• Cre ating virtual devices

• Connecting devices (targets) to backup hosts (initiators)

Reviewing pre-installation requirements

Before attempting to operate the VLS with your backup ser vers, verify that the iSCSI initiator and the

browser meet

the

minimum requirements.

iSCSI initiators

iSCSI initiators are required to commun icate with the iSCSI ta rgets (VLS Devices) on the VLS. Each backup

server that will interface with the VLS must be equipped with a software- or hardware-based initiator. The

VLS supports the Windows 2003 platform server with a n available iSCSI initiator, either in software or

using an iSCSI HBA (it must be iSCSI draft 20/version 1.0).

Browser

The VLS GUI is a We b-enabled program that requires the use of cookies, Java applets, and Java scripts.

Make sure that the Web b rowser you use is conﬁgured to allow these items.

Verifying the settings in Internet Explorer

1. Launch M icrosoft Internet Explorer.

2. In the Tools menu, click Internet Options.

3. On the Se curity tab, click Custom Level.
