establish as a failover target. The Target_ Portal_Address is different for each port you connect to.
PersistentLoginTarget does not initiate a login to the target until after the system is rebooted. To
establish immediate login to the target, substitute LoginTarget for PersistentLoginTarget.
NOTE: See the Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator 2.x User's Guide for more information about
the commands used in the previous steps. For more information about Windows Server 2008
Server Core, see the Microsoft Developers Network (MSDN) at microsoft.com.
For Linux Server
In MD Storage Manager, the Configure iSCSI Host Ports displays the status of each iSCSI port you
attempt to connect and the configuration state of all IP addresses. If either displays Disconnected or
Unconfigured respectively, check the following and repeat the iSCSI configuration steps:
•
Are all cables securely attached to each port on the host server and storage array?
•
Is TCP/IP correctly configured on all target host ports?
•
Is CHAP set up correctly on both the host server and the storage array?
To review optimal network setup and configuration settings, see "Guidelines for Configuring Your
Network For iSCSI".
Step 8: (Optional) Set Up In-Band Management
Out-of-band management (see Step 1: Discover the Storage Array (Out-of-band Management Only) ) is
the recommended method for managing the storage array. However, to optionally set up in-band
management, use the steps shown below.
The default iSCSI host port IPv4 addresses are displayed below for reference:
Controller 0, Port 0: IP: 192.168.130.101 Controller 0, Port 1: IP:
192.168.131.101
Controller 1, Port 0: IP: 192.168.130.102 Controller 1, Port 1: IP:
192.168.131.102
NOTE: The management station you are using must be configured for network communication to
the same IP subnet as the PowerVault MD3860i host ports.
1.
Establish an iSCSI session to the PowerVault MD3860i RAID storage array.
2.
Restart the SMagent service.
3.
Launch MD Storage Manager.
If this is the first storage array to be set up for management, the Add New Storage Array window is
displayed. Otherwise, click New.
4.
Select Manual and click OK.
5.
Select In-band management and enter the host server name(s) or IP address(es) of the host server
that is running the PowerVault MD Storage Manager.
6.
Click Add.
In-band management should now be successfully configured.
