Dell MD3200, MD3220 manual Linux Host Setup, Using Dhcp, Using a Static IP Address

7To specify the location of the file that you want to import into the Lmhosts file, select Import LMHOSTS and then select the file in the Open dialog box.

8Enable or disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP.

If using Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Core Version, use the netsh interface command to configure the iSCSI ports on the host server.

Linux Host Setup

To set up a Linux host network, you must configure the IP address and netmask of each iSCSI port connected to the storage array. The specific steps depend on whether you are configuring TCP/IP using DHCP or configuring TCP/IP using a static IP address.

NOTE: The server IP addresses must be configured for network communication to the same IP subnet as the storage array management and iSCSI ports.

Using DHCP

If you are using DHCP (root users only):

1Edit the /etc/sysconfig/network file:

NETWORKING=yes HOSTNAME=mymachine.mycompany.com

2Edit the configuration file for the connection you want to configure, either

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX (for Red Hat Enterprise Linux) or /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth-id-XX:XX:XX:XX:XX (for SUSE Enterprise Linux).

BOOTPROTO=dhcp

Also, verify that an IP address and netmask are not defined.

3Restart network services using the following command:

/etc/init.d/network restart

Using A Static IP Address

If you are using a static IP address (root users only)

1Edit the /etc/sysconfig/network file as follows:
