Instruction Manual

– <Mapping_Count> is 0, indicating that no mappings are specified and no further parameters are

required.

* * * An asterisk (*) represents the default value of a parameter.

For example, your log on command may look like this:

iscsicli PersistentLoginTarget iqn.1984-

05.com.dell:powervault.6001372000ffe3332xx0000046

72edf2 3260 T 192.168.130.101 * * * 0x2 * * * * * * * * * 0

To view active sessions to the target, run the following command:

iscsicli SessionList

To support storage array controller failover, the host server must be connected to at least one iSCSI port on each

controller. Repeat step 3 for each iSCSI port on the storage array that you want to establish as a failover target. The

Target_ Portal_Address is different for each port you connect to.

PersistentLoginTarget does not initiate a login to the target until after the system is rebooted. To

establish immediate login to the target, substitute

LoginTarget for PersistentLoginTarget.

NOTE: See the

Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator 2.x User’s Guide

for more information about the commands

used in the previous steps. For more information about Windows Server 2008 Server Core, see the Microsoft

Developers Network (MSDN) at microsoft.com.

For Linux Server

In MD Storage Manager, the Configure iSCSI Host Ports displays the status of each iSCSI port you attempt to connect

and the configuration state of all IP addresses. If either displays Disconnected or Unconfigured respectively, check the

following and repeat the iSCSI configuration steps:

• Are all cables securely attached to each port on the host server and storage array?

• Is TCP/IP correctly configured on all target host ports?

• Is CHAP set up correctly on both the host server and the storage array?

To review optimal network setup and configuration settings, see Guidelines For Configuring Your Guidelines For

Configuring Your Network For iSCSI.

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 displayed below for reference:

Controller 0, Port 0: IP: 192.168.130.101 Controller 0, Port 1: IP:

192.168.131.101

Controller 0, Port 0: IP: 192.168.132.101 Controller 0, Port 1: IP:

192.168.133.101

Controller 1, Port 0: IP: 192.168.130.102 Controller 1, Port 1: IP:

192.168.131.102

Controller 1, Port 0: IP: 192.168.132.102 Controller 1, Port 1: IP:

192.168.133.102

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

subnet as the PowerVault MD3660i host ports.
