After you install the iSCSI provider on the head node, depending on the requirements of your iSCSI storage arrays, you might need to configure the iSCSI provider for your specific deployment. For example, you might need to specify the size of the logical unit numbers (LUNs) that will be created for the iSCSI boot nodes in your storage arrays, or specify the credentials that will be used to connect to your storage arrays.

If HPC Cluster Manager is open on the head node, close it.

Follow the documentation that is provided with the installation files for the iSCSI provider to configure it for deployment.
