Best Practice Solution In The HA Option
It is recommended to isolate the SAN traffic from the LAN or client traffic with redundant switches for HA. All the client
cables are split between the redundant client switches, and the SAN or internal network cables are split between the
redundant SAN switches. Peer connections are always back to back.
MD32x0i controllers have four iSCSI data ports. Note the following when configuring the ports:
•
Ports 2 and 3 must not be configured on the same subnets as ports 0 and 1.
•
Ports 2 and 3 can be used for additional block level iSCSI access by other hosts.
