Step 2: Configure 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, complete the following steps:

1From MD Storage Manager, click the iSCSI tab, then select Configure iSCSI Host Ports.

2Configure the iSCSI ports on the storage array.

NOTE: Using static IPv4 addressing is recommended, although DHCP is supported.

NOTE: IPv4 is enabled by default on the iSCSI ports. You must enable IPv6 to configure IPv6 addresses.

NOTE: IPv6 is supported only on controllers that will connect to host servers running Windows Server 2008.

The following settings are available (depending on your specific 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 and enter it here.

•Ethernet priority

This parameter is set to determine a network access priority.

•TCP listening port

The port number the controller on the storage array uses to listen 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.

3To enable ICMP PING responses for all ports, select Enable ICMP PING responses.

4Click OK when all iSCSI storage array port configurations are complete.

5Test the connection by performing a ping command on each iSCSI storage array port.
