Detailed End-to-End iSCSI Setup
This section describes the end-to-end iSCSI setup, including settings for the
iSCSI Initiator, Target, and establishing connections.
Setting Up Target IP Addresses in the PowerVault
NX1950 Storage Solution
Based on configuration (with one or two dedicated iSCSI NICs) assign
IP addresses to the iSCSI NICs. Use the IP address that you assigned to the
iSCSI NIC(s) in the Target Portals tab of the Initiator for discovery.
Setting up Target IP Addresses in the PowerVault
NX1950 Cluster Solution
To set up the Target IP address in a PowerVault NX1950 cluster solution:
Using the 3.0 iSCSI Target
1 Assign IP addresses to the iSCSI NICs in different subnets.
2 Add a virtual IP address as a cluster resource manually by adding virtual
IP address for the iSCSI NIC.
3 When you configure the Initiators, add the virtual IP address of the iSCSI
NIC in the Target portals tab.
4 After you complete the setup, the iSCSI Targets are managed by the active
node. During failover, the iSCSI Targets are managed by the surviving
node or the node that owns the Cluster Group.
Using the 3.1 iSCSI Target
1 Assign IP address to the iSCSI NICs and create highly available iSCSI
instance on each node that is added as cluster resource. Use PowerVault
NX1950 Management Console and the iSCSI snap-in to create the highly
available iSCSI instances.
