To attached an iSCSI SR is far less stable than using FC, so if you have an FC path available, use that! Otherwise:
 +
* create a volume on the Compellent
 +
* create a server group on the Compellent if not already there
 +
* on the XenServer host, click "Add new storage" -> "Software iSCSI" and name the SR
 +
* as the target host, ping 172.21.0.36 (sint.iscsi.ipmi.nikhef.nl), port 3260
 +
* click "Discover IQNs"
 +
* now, on the compellent, create a server and try to identify the proper iSCSI initiator. It may not be there yet, in which case you can retry on a per-XenServer basis.
 +
* click "Discover LUNs". If there are no LUNs, go back to the Compellent and try again. If needed, click on Discover IQNs again and retry
 +
If you never find the target, you can login on to the VM host and try
 +
iscsiadm -m node -l
 +
to log in, but only if the iSCSI initiator name has been set in <tt>/etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi</tt>. Sometime XCP does not do that, and you just need to try again.
