Configure Embedded iSCSI Ports

Configure 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. Configure 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 traffic and iSCSI traffic to use the

same physical network ports. However, for environments where the Storage Center system management ports are

mixed with network traffic from other devices, separate the iSCSI traffic from management traffic 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. Configure 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.

3. Click OK.
