Dell MD3200, MD3220 manual Appendix-Manual Configuration of iSCSI

Controller 1, Port 2: IP: 192.168.132.102 Subnet Mask:

255.255.255.0 Port: 3260

Controller 1, Port 3: IP: 192.168.133.102 Subnet Mask:

255.255.255.0 Port: 3260

NOTE: No default gateway is set.

To configure the iSCSI ports on the storage array:

1From MDSM, navigate to the Setup tab on the AMW.

2Click configure Ethernet management ports and then select Configure iSCSI Host Ports.

3Configure 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.

4To enable ICMP PING responses for all ports, select Enable ICMP PING responses.

5Click OK when all iSCSI storage array port configurations are complete.

6Test the connection by performing a ping command on each iSCSI storage array port.
