Administrator Guide

9. In the Ports table, select the iSCSI ports to add to the fault domain. All iSCSI ports in the fault domain should be connected to the
same Ethernet network.
If creating a physical fault domain, physical ports appear in the list only if they are not assigned to any fault domain yet.
10. Click OK.
Next steps
(Optional) Configure VLANs for the iSCSI ports in the fault domain by creating a virtual fault domain for each VLAN. Base the virtual fault
domains on the physical fault domain.

To add a VLAN ID to iSCSI ports that are already in use, use an existing iSCSI fault domain as the basis for a new VLAN iSCSI fault
domain.
Prerequisites
• The Storage Center must meet the multi-VLAN tagging requirements.
• Virtual fault domains do not support IPv6.
Steps
1. If the Storage Manager Client is connected to a Data Collector, select a Storage Center from the Storage view.
2. Click the Storage tab.
3. In the Storage tab navigation pane, expand Fault Domains→ iSCSI, then select the fault domain.
4. In the right pane, click Create VLAN Copy. The Create VLAN dialog box opens.
5. In the Name field, type a name for the fault domain.
6. Configure an IP address and gateway for the iSCSI control port in the fault domain. Servers target this IP address using iSCSI
initiators, and the Storage Center redirects individual iSCSI connections to the appropriate virtual port.
a) In the Target IPv4 Address field, type an IP address to assign to the iSCSI control port.
b) In the Subnet Mask field, type the subnet mask for the well known IP address.
c) In the Gateway IPv4 Address field, type the IP address for the iSCSI network default gateway.
7. Configure VLAN tagging.
a) In the VLAN ID field, type VLAN ID for the fault domain. Allowed values are 1–4096.
b) (Optional) To assign a priority level to the VLAN, type a value from 0–7 in the Class of Service Priority field. 0 is best effort, 1 is
the lowest priority, and 7 is the highest priority.
8. Assign a VLAN IP address to each selected port in the Ports table by editing the corresponding field in the VLAN IP Address column.
Each port must have an IP address in the same network as the iSCSI control port, which is specified in the Well Known IP Address
field.
9. Click OK.
