Class A: 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
Class B: 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
Class C: 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255
Make sure that your assigned addresses do not conflict with other devices on the corporate network.
Each NIC or HBA in your server requires a unique IP address. In a server with multiple NICs/HBAs attached directly to the storage system, or on a dedicated iSCSI network, the initiator ports must be on separate subnets.
For example, an SSR212PP2i storage system directly attached to network interface cards in one or two servers could assign network identifiers as follows:
Port | IP address | Subnet mask | Gateway |
|
|
|
|
Storage Processor A | 172.31.1.100 | 255.255.255.0 | 0.0.0.0 |
iSCSI port | (1 = subnet) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
iSCSI NIC/HBA 1 | 172.31.1.101 | 255.255.255.0 | 0.0.0.0 |
|
|
|
|
Storage Processor B | 172.31.2.100 | 255.255.255.0 | 0.0.0.0 |
iSCSI port |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
iSCSI NIC/HBA 2 | 172.31.2.101 | 255.255.255.0 | 0.0.0.0 |
|
|
|
|
Subnet mask
The subnet mask for the LAN subnet to which the iSCSI data port is connected.
Gateway
The default gateway address for the LAN to which the iSCSI data port is connected. If you do not have a gateway, set the field to 0.0.0.0; do not leave the field blank.
Initiator iSCSI Data Ports
An SSR212PPi (single storage processor) storage system supports as many as 10 initiators; an SSR212PP2i (dual storage processor) storage system can support 20 initiators. Record the following initiator information for as many as 20 initiators in the C section on the Administration Worksheet.
Port Name
This field is not mandatory, but you might find it useful to have a
IP Address for iSCSI Initiator Port
The network IP (Internet Protocol) address of the initiator port. See the addressing recommendations in "IP address" on page 20.
The initiator port addresses are not the related to the public IP address of the server in which initiator ports reside.
