Step 8: Set Up In-Band Management - Dell PowerVault MD3800i Series Deployment Manual

• 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 "Configuring iSCSI on Your Storage
Array".

Step 8: Set Up In-Band Management

Enter a short description of your task here (optional).
Out-of-band management (see "Discover the Storage Array (Out-ofband Management Only)" ) is the
recommended method for managing the storage array. However, to optionally set up in-band
management, follow the procedure given below. The default iSCSI host port IPv4 addresses are shown
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: Configure the management station you are using for network communication to the same IP
subnet as the PowerVault system host ports.
1. Establish an iSCSI session to the PowerVault storage array.
2. Restart the SMagent service.
3. Launch MDSM.
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 MD Storage Manager software.
6. Click Add.
In-band management should now be successfully configured.
