EonStor DS S12/S16/S24 Series Hardware Manual
iSCSI management software can vary from case to case. In the following sections,
configuration diagrams will be provided to illustrate the possible uses of the EonStor
DS system in an iSCSI network.
Note that host NIC ports and the storage system's iSCSI host ports must be
configured into the same subnet.
Note the following with the configurations diagrammed below:
 Use the Ethernet management port for management purposes, i.e., SANWatch or
telnet console. This Ethernet management port is not used for I/O transactions.
 Configurations such as subnet or Virtual LAN can separate iSCSI host links,
decrease overhead, and eliminate the impact of link failure.
 Multiple arrays or logical partitions can be created and made available separately
through different IDs or LUN numbers on the host ports. Usually, a RAID5 logical
drive of eight (8) members often brings optimal array performance. You may
attach expansion enclosures, the EonStor DS S12S-J2000-R, to expand system
capacity.
NOTE
If you are using the Microsoft's software initiator, please deselect the embedded
MPIO function when installing the software, as the MPIO selection creates conflicts
with Infortrend's EonPath driver.
