Configuring Controller Enclosure Host Ports
To configure iSCSI host ports on the controller enclosure, complete the following
steps:
1. Select Manage > General Config > Host Port Configuration.
2. In the Controller Module Host Port Configuration panels, for each host port on
controller A and controller B, enter the following values:
■ IP address. (Refer to the list of IP addresses you obtained after you installed the
enclosures.)
■ Subnet mask. Set all subnet mask fields to 255.255.255 . 0
■ Gateway IP address. Leave this field blank (set to 0.0.0.0 ) for all ports.

Configuring Data Host Ethernet Ports
After installing the enclosures, you should have obtained from your network
administrator an IP address for each data host Ethernet port that will be used for
iSCSI connectivity. Each Ethernet port on a data host should be assigned an IP
address on a different subnet. To configure data host Ethernet ports for iSCSI
connectivity so that hosts can communicate with the storage system, complete the
following steps:
1. On the host system, click Start > Control Panel > Network Connections.
2. Select and rename each Ethernet port that will be used for iSCSI connectivity using
a descriptive name.
Examples: iSCSI_Port0_10.10.10.10 and iSCSI_Port1_10.11.10.10
3. Right click on the first port and select Properties.
4. From the This Connection Uses the Following Items list, located on the General tab,
select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click Properties.
Select Use the Following IP Address and set IP properties as follows:
a. Enter an IP address that is on the same subnet as IP addresses used for one of the
iSCSI host ports on controller A and one of the iSCSI host ports on controller B.
b. Set the subnet mask for the IP address you entered.
c. Leave the Default gateway field blank.
