Question 1 of 30
In a data center environment, you are tasked with troubleshooting an iSCSI configuration issue where a server is unable to connect to the iSCSI target. The server is configured with a static IP address of 192.168.1.10, and the iSCSI target is located at 192.168.1.20. Both devices are on the same subnet with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. You suspect that there may be a problem with the iSCSI initiator settings or network configuration. Which of the following steps should you take first to diagnose the issue effectively?
Verify the iSCSI initiator's IQN (iSCSI Qualified Name) and ensure it matches the target's allowed initiators list.
Check the physical network connections and ensure that both devices are powered on and connected to the same switch.
Review the iSCSI target's configuration to confirm that it is set to listen on the correct IP address and port.
Analyze the network traffic using a packet sniffer to see if the iSCSI discovery requests are being sent and received.
