Setting Up Your iSCSI Storage Array

Step 8: (Optional) Set Up In-Band Management

Out-of-band management (see Step 1: Discover the Storage Array (Out-of-band management only)) is the
recommended method for managing the storage array. However, to optionally set up in-band
management, use the steps shown below.

The default iSCSI host port IPv4 addresses are shown below for reference:

Controller 0, Port 0: IP: 192.168.130.101

Controller 0, Port 1: IP: 192.168.131.101

Controller 1, Port 0: IP: 192.168.130.102

Controller 1, Port 1: IP: 192.168.131.102

NOTE:

The management station you are using must be configured for network communication to the same IP

subnet as the MD3000i host ports.

NOTE:

By default, the MD3000i host ports are not IPv6 enabled. To use IPv6 for in-band management, you

must first connect either out-of-band, or in-band using the default IPv4 addresses. Once this is done, you can
enable IPv6 and begin step 1 below using the IPv6 addresses.

1 Establish an iSCSI session to the MD3000i RAID storage array.
2 In either Windows or Linux, restart the SMagent service.
3 Launch MD Storage Manager.

If this is the first storage array to be set up for management, the Add New Storage Array window will
appear. Otherwise, click New.

4 Select Manual and click OK.
5 Select In-band management and enter the host server name(s) or IP address(es) of the host server that

is running the MD Storage Manager software.

6 Click Add.

In-band management should now be successfully configured.
