Appendix—Manual Configuration of iSCSI

Controller 1, Port 2: IP: 192.168.132.102 Subnet Mask:
255.255.255.0 Port: 3260

Controller 1, Port 3: IP: 192.168.133.102 Subnet Mask:
255.255.255.0 Port: 3260

NOTE:

No default gateway is set.

To configure the iSCSI ports on the storage array:

1 From MDSM, navigate to the Setup tab on the AMW.
2 Click configure Ethernet management ports and then select Configure

iSCSI Host Ports.

3 Configure the iSCSI ports on the storage array.

NOTE:

Using static IPv4 addressing is recommended, although DHCP is supported.

The following settings are available (depending on the configuration) by

clicking the

Advanced button:

• Virtual LAN (VLAN) support—A VLAN is a network of different

systems that behave as if they are connected to the same segments of a

local area network (LAN) and are supported by the same switches and

routers. When configured as a VLAN, a device can be moved to

another location without being reconfigured. To use VLAN on your

storage array, obtain the VLAN ID from your network administrator.

• Ethernet priority—This parameter is set to determine a network

access priority.

• TCP listening port—The port number on the storage array that listens

for iSCSI logins from host server iSCSI initiators.

NOTE:

The TCP listening port for the iSNS server is the port number the

storage array controller uses to connect to an iSNS server. This allows the

iSNS server to register the iSCSI target and portals of the storage array so

that the host server initiators can identify them.

• Jumbo frames—Jumbo Ethernet frames are created when the

maximum transmission units (MTUs) are larger than 1500 bytes per

frame. This setting is adjustable port-by-port.

4 To enable ICMP PING responses for all ports, select Enable ICMP PING

responses.

5 Click OK when all iSCSI storage array port configurations are complete.
6 Test the connection by performing a ping command on each iSCSI storage

array port.
