Configuring iSCSI Connection With the PowerVault NX1950 Cluster

Solution

To configure the PowerVault NX1950 cluster solution as an iSCSI Target,

perform the actions in "Pre-Requisites" on page 17 and then perform the

following steps:

Configuring 3.0 iSCSI Target (Active/Passive)

1 Add the Virtual iSCSI IP address to the Cluster resources list. The Virtual

IP address is similar to the cluster IP and must be part of the subnet in which

the iSCSI NICs of cluster nodes are configured. You must also add the same

Virtual iSCSI IP address in the Initiator as

Target portals IP address for

discovery.

NOTE:

When you are establishing a connection/session, choose the specific

host (source) IP address and exclusive iSCSI virtual IP address of the cluster

as Target portal from Initiator. This ensures proper connection during cluster

node failover.

2 Configure the Target on the active node of PowerVault NX1950 cluster

solution.
