Setting Up the Ethernet Switch

1. Connect the Solaris (iSCSI Initiator) host’s CAT5/Fiber cables and the HP 3PAR StoreServ

Storage iSCSI target port's CAT5/Fiber cables to the Ethernet switches.

2. If you are using VLANs, make sure that the switch ports (where the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage

iSCSI target ports and iSCSI Initiators are connected) are in the same VLANs and/or that you

can route the iSCSI traffic between the iSCSI Initiators and the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage

iSCSI target ports. Once the iSCSI Initiator and HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage iSCSI target ports

are configured and connected to the switch, you can use the ping command on the iSCSI

Initiator host to make sure that it sees the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage iSCSI target ports.

NOTE: Ethernet switch VLANs and routing setup and configuration is beyond the scope of

this document. Consult your switch manufacturer's documentation for instructions of how to

set up VLANs and routing.

Configuring the Solaris 11 Host Ports

Configure the host’s NIC/CNA card IP addresses appropriately for the iSCSI Initiator software

that is used to connect to the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage iSCSI target ports.

Ensure that the iSCSI initiator software is properly configured as described in “Setting Up the iSCSI

Initiator for Target Discovery” (page 44).

The following procedure shows the steps that are required to configure a Solaris 11 host with two

iSCSI ports.

1. Identify the two interfaces required for iSCSI on the host.

bash-3.00# dladm show-phys

LINK MEDIA STATE SPEED DUPLEX DEVICE

net1 Ethernet up 1000 full e1000g1

net2 Ethernet up 10000 full oce2

net4 Ethernet unknown 0 unknown e1000g2

net0 Ethernet up 1000 full e1000g0

net3 Ethernet up 10000 full oce3

net5 Ethernet unknown 0 unknown e1000g3

2. Create the two interfaces required for iSCSI on the host. In the following example, the oce2

and oce3 interfaces are used.

bash-3.00# ipadm create-ip net2

bash-3.00# ipadm create-ip net3

bash-3.00# ipadm create-addr -T static -a 10.100.11.3/24 net2/ipv4

bash-3.00# ipadm create-addr -T static -a 10.100.12.3/24 net3/ipv4

3. Check that the iSCSI interfaces are created and configured correctly. For example:

bash-3.00# ifconfig -a

lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232 index

inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000

net0: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2
