Appendix—Manual Configuration of iSCSI 59
Controller 1, Port 1: IP: 192.168.131.102 Subnet Mask:
255.255.255.0 Port: 3260
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:
1
From MDSM navigate to the
Setup
tab on the AMW. Click
configure
Ethernet management ports
and then select
Configure iSCSI Host Ports
.
2
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 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 on the storage array 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.
