MSA 2050 Confguration

[KingTony]

Hi, I'm doing my first MSA 2050 setup on iSCSI. I have already created the pools and volumes which all look fine. I did copy the server iQN and used it to add a host under the host tab, which i mapped with the two volumes i have on the storage. From my windows server, I;ve tried to discover the storage but not able to. I intent to use the MSA default ips 10.0.0.2 and .3, which i have tried to add and discover using the iSCSI initiator but i get "Connectin failed." Is there a step I'm missing or something I'm doing wrong? Kindly assist.

THanks Subhajit, I managed to make ti work. Hadn't set the host ports to iSCI, they were shipped with FC as the default protocol
