Dell PowerVault MD3200i - Manual (Page 87)

Configuration: Using iSCSI 87
• Select Specify Configuration, and type the IPv4 address to activate
the target discovery.
• Type the iSNS server IP address in the IPv6 settings area to activate
the target discovery.
After you manually enter an IP address, you can also click Advanced to
configure the customized TCP listening ports.
If you do not want to allow discovery sessions that are not named, select
the Disallow un-named discovery sessions.
NOTE: Un-named discovery sessions are discovery sessions that are
permitted to run without a target name. With an un-named discovery session,
the target name or the target portal group tag is not available to enforce the
iSCSI session identifier (ISID) rule.
5 Click OK.
Configuring the iSCSI Host Ports
The default method for configuring the iSCSI host ports, for IPv4 addressing,
is DHCP. Always use this method unless your network does not have a DHCP
server. It is advisable to assign static DHCP addresses to the iSCSI ports to
ensure continuous connectivity. For Ipv6 addressing, the default method is
Stateless auto-configuration. Always use this method for IPv6.
To configure the iSCSI host ports:
1 In the AMW, select the Setup tab.
2 Select Configure iSCSI Host Ports.
The Configure iSCSI Host Ports window is displayed.
3 In the iSCSI host port list, select an appropriate RAID controller module
and an iSCSI host port.
The connection status between the storage array and the host is displayed
in the Status area when you select an iSCSI host port. The connection
status is either connected or disconnected. Additionally, the media access
control (MAC) address of the selected iSCSI host port is displayed in the
MAC address area.
NOTE: For each iSCSI host port, you can use either IPv4 settings, IPv6
settings, or both.
