Configure Group Access on Managed Hosts and
Clusters
SCVMM does not automatically configure or maintain iSCSI discovery target portal settings on managed hosts based on the
provider and PS Series group configuration on SMP.
You must configure iSCSI target portals for every node or host you are planning to use in storage provisioning tasks using SMP
so that volumes created in provisioning tasks can be connected on the managed hosts.
If the hosts are part of a HIT Group, you can use any of the following methods to configure group access for all the hosts at the
same time.
● SCVMM Console GUI
● ASM/ME GUI
● PowerShell Tools New-EqlGroupAccess cmdlet
See the Dell EqualLogic Auto-Snapshot Manager/Microsoft Edition User’s Guide or the Dell EqalLogic PowerShell Tools
Reference Guide for more information.
To configure iSCSI target portals using the SCVMM console:
1. In the Fabric workspace view, right-click a host or a cluster node and select Properties.
2. In the Properties dialog box, click Storage tab, then expand the iSCSI Arrays node (as shown in the figure below). Select
the PS Series group and click Create Session.
