SANRAD V-Switch manual Iscsi portal create -ip 212.199.43.75 -p, Sample Configurations 277

The port number you set in the CLI must coincide with the port number you set in your iSCSI initiator configuration.

Use the CLI command again to configure the iSCSI portal for the inactive IP address on Eth 2 to allow iSCSI communications via this IP on VSwitch1 in the event of VSwitch2 failover.

iscsi portal create –ip 212.199.43.75 –p 5003

STEP 13. CONFIGURE V-SWITCH 2 NETWORK PORT ETH 1 IP ADDRESSES

Use the CLI command ip config set to configure the network port Eth 1

for communications between VSwitch2 and the host stations on VSwitch2. Set the IP address as active (1) to allow read/write commands to pass through this IP address.

ip config set –if eth1 -ip 212.199.43.75 –im 255.255.255.0 –act 1

Now, use the CLI command ip config set to configure the IP takeover

address for Eth 1. This IP address will be the IP address of Eth 1 on VSwitch1. The address will sit inactive (2) unless V-Switch 1 goes offline. Then VSwitch2 will activate (1) this address and direct all read/write commands to this address through Eth 1 on VSwitch2.

ip config set –if eth1 -ip 212.199.43.56 –im 255.255.255.0 –act 2

STEP 14. CONFIGURE V-SWITCH 2 ISCSI PORTALS

Use the CLI command iscsi portal create to configure the iSCSI

portal on network port Eth 1 for iSCSI communications between the V-Switch and the host stations.

iscsi portal create –ip 212.199.43.75 –p 5003

Use the CLI command again to configure the iSCSI portal for the inactive IP address on Eth 1 to allow iSCSI communications via this IP on VSwitch2 in the event of VSwitch1 failover.

iscsi portal create –ip 212.199.43.56 –p 5003

STEP 15. CHECK STORAGE DEVICES

Use the CLI command storage show to list the system-registered storage

devices on VSwitch1. This ensures that all disks were registered during the disk auto-discovery scan. This also lists the default disk aliases needed for creating your simple volumes.
