Configure the Host Connectivity Using PowerVault MDCU
To configure the host connectivity for an iSCSI-based storage array(s)
using PowerVault MDCU:
1 Launch the utility (if it is not launched automatically) from the server
which needs to be configured for access to the iSCSI-based storage
array(s). This server must have access to the array either using the array’s
management ports or using the array’s iSCSI host ports.
See step 1 in "Configure the Storage Array Using PowerVault MDCU" on
page 41 for the instructions on how to launch the utility.
Click

2 In the Configuration Task screen, select Configure Host and click Next.
NOTE: This task is not supported or is disabled if the MDSM agent is not
installed on the host where you are running the utility. The agent is typically
not installed on the Windows client systems such as Windows XP.
3 In the Discovery Method screen, select one of the discovery methods.
If the host has access to the management ports of the PowerVault MD
storage array(s), then select Discover via Management Port method and
click Next.
If the host does not have the access to the management ports of the array,
then select the Discover via iSCSI Port method (assuming that the host
has access to the iSCSI host ports of the storage array) and click Next.
Continue to step 5.
4 Follow the instructions in step 3 and step 4 of "Configure the Storage
Array Using PowerVault MDCU" on page 41 to select the storage array
that needs to be configured for connectivity with the host. Go to step 6.
5 In the iSCSI Port IP Address screen, enter the IPv4 IP address of any one
of the iSCSI host port of the array that the host can connect to or enter the
IPv6 local address of the any of the iSCSI host port. Click Next to
continue.
