Cabling the Management Port and Replication Port for iSCSI Replication

If replication is licensed and the Flex Port license is installed, the management (MGMT) port and
replication (REPL) port can be used to replicate data to another Storage Center.
About this task
Connect the management port and replication port on each storage controller to an Ethernet switch
through which the Storage Center can perform replication.
NOTE: .
The Flex Port feature allows both Storage Center system management traffic and iSCSI traffic to use
the same physical network ports. However, for environments where the Storage Center system
management ports are mixed with network traffic from other devices, separate the iSCSI traffic from
management traffic using VLANs.
Steps
1. Connect Flex Port Domain 1 (shown in orange) to the iSCSI network.
a. Connect Ethernet switch 1 to the corporate/management network (shown in green).
b. Connect the management port on storage controller 1 to Ethernet switch 1.
c. Connect the management port on storage controller 2 to Ethernet switch 1.
2. Connect iSCSI Embedded Domain 2 (shown in blue) to the iSCSI network.
