Create a network server host adapter object

A network server host adapter (NWSH) object must be created for each iSeries™ target iSCSI host bus adapter (iSCSI HBA).

To create a network server host adapter using iSeries Navigator, follow these steps:

The network server host adapter and the remote system configuration define IP address information for opposite sides of the iSCSI network. When connected by a simple, switched network, the following rules apply:

The SCSI internet addresses in these two objects that are connected by a switch must be in the same subnet. For example, with IP addresses of the form a.b.x.y and 255.255.255.0 subnet masks, a.b.x must be the same value for both objects.
The LAN internet addresses in these two objects that are connected by a switch must be in the same subnet.
In the network server host adapter, the gateway elements can be any unassigned IP address in any subnet if you don't have a gateway in your network.
In the remote system configuration, the gateway elements should be blank if you don't have a gateway in your network.
