Congure Embedded iSCSI Ports
Congure the embedded Ethernet ports on the Storage Center for use as iSCSI ports.
Prerequisites
The storage system must be one of the following:
• SCv2000
• SCv2020
• SCv2080
• SC4020
Steps
1 Congure the fault domain and ports (embedded fault domain 1 or Flex Port Domain 1).
NOTE: The Flex Port feature allows both Storage Center system management trac and iSCSI trac to use the same
physical network ports. However, for environments where the Storage Center system management ports are mixed with
network trac from other devices, separate the iSCSI trac from management trac using VLANs.
a Enter the target IPv4 address, subnet mask, and gateway for the fault domain.
b Enter an IPv4 address for each port in the fault domain.
NOTE
: Make sure that all the IP addresses for the fault domain are in the same subnet.
2 Congure the fault domain and ports (embedded fault domain 2 or Flex Port Domain 2).
a Enter the target IPv4 address, subnet mask, and gateway for the fault domain.
b Enter an IPv4 address for each port in the fault domain.
NOTE
: Make sure that all the IP addresses for the fault domain are in the same subnet.

Set Up a localhost or VMware Host
After conguring a Storage Center, you can set up block-level storage for a localhost, VMware vSphere host, or VMware vCenter.
Set Up a localhost from Initial Setup
Congure a localhost to access block-level storage on the Storage Center. It is recommended that you perform this procedure for each
host that is connected to the Storage Center.
Prerequisites
• Client must be running on a system with a 64-bit operating system.
• The Storage Manager Client must be run by a Storage Manager Client user with the Administrator privilege.
• The Storage Center must be added to Storage Manager using a Storage Center user with the Administrator or Volume Manager
privilege.
• On a Storage Center with Fibre Channel IO ports, congure the Fibre Channel zoning.
Steps
1 On the Conguration Complete page of the Discover and Congure Storage Center wizard, click Congure this host to access a
Storage Center.
