Create and start a network server host adapter
You must configure a target iSCSI HBA in your iSeries™ server before installing Windows on
an iSCSI attached server. This configuration is called a network server host
adapter (NWSH) device.
An NWSH device can be used by more then one active server. If your new
server will use an existing NWSH device, verify that the existing NWSH device
is started.
To create and start (vary on) a new NWSH device, do the following steps.
- Identify the NWSH hardware resources as follows using iSeries Navigator:
- Expand Configuration and Service —> Hardware —> Communications.
- Note the resource name for any resource with the description Network Server
Host Adapter.
- If you want to use a CL command use WRKHDWRSC TYPE(*CMN).
- Create an NWSH device. See Create a network server host adapter object.
- Start the NWSH device. See Start a network server host adapter.
