Step 2: Configuring The iSCSI Ports On The Storage Array
By default, the iSCSI ports on the storage array are set to the following IPv4 settings:
Controller 0, Port 0: IP: 192.168.130.101 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Port: 3260
Controller 0, Port 1: IP: 192.168.131.101 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Port: 3260
Controller 1, Port 0: IP: 192.168.130.102 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Port: 3260
Controller 1, Port 1: IP: 192.168.131.102 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Port: 3260
NOTE: No default gateway is set.
To configure the iSCSI ports on the storage array:
1.
From MDSM, navigate to the Setup tab on the AMW.
2.
Select Configure iSCSI Host Ports.
3.
Configure the iSCSI ports on the storage array.
NOTE: Using static IPv4 addressing is recommended, although DHCP is supported.
The following settings are available (depending on the configuration) by clicking the Advanced
button:
•
Virtual LAN (VLAN) support—A VLAN is a network of different systems that behave as if they are
connected to the same segments of a local area network (LAN) and are supported by the same
switches and routers. When configured as a VLAN, a device can be moved to another location
without being reconfigured. To use VLAN on your storage array, obtain the VLAN ID from your
network administrator.
•
Ethernet priority—This parameter is set to determine a network access priority.
•
TCP listening port—The port number on the storage array that listens for iSCSI logins from host
server iSCSI initiators.
NOTE: The TCP listening port for the iSNS server is the port number the storage array
controller uses to connect to an iSNS server. This allows the iSNS server to register the iSCSI
target and portals of the storage array so that the host server initiators can identify them.
•
Jumbo frames—Jumbo Ethernet frames are created when the maximum transmission units
(MTUs) are larger than 1500 bytes per frame. This setting is adjustable port-by-port.
4.
To enable ICMP PING responses for all ports, select Enable ICMP PING responses.
5.
Click OK when all iSCSI storage array port configurations are complete.
42
Purpose
configuration or performing a destructive
operation.
To notify individuals (by email) and/or storage
enterprise management consoles, such as Dell
Management Console (by SNMP) when a storage
array component degrades or fails, or an adverse
environmental condition occurs.
To create virtual disks and map them to hosts.
