5 In the Name eld, type a name for the fault domain.
6 (Virtual port mode only) Congure 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 eld, type an IP address to assign to the iSCSI control port.
b In the Subnet Mask eld, type the subnet mask for the well-known IP address.
c In the Gateway IPv4 Address eld, type the IP address for the iSCSI network default gateway.
7 (Optional) In the Target IPv6 Address eld, type an IP address to assign to the iSCSI control port.
8 (Optional) If necessary, assign a VLAN ID to the fault domain.
NOTE: If the Storage Center does not meet the multi-VLAN tagging requirements, a VLAN ID cannot be specied at this
time. Instead, modify the fault domain after it is created to add a VLAN ID.
a Select the Physical option if you want to create a physical fault domain, that is, a fault domain that consists of physical ports.
b Select the Virtual option if you want to create a fault domain that consists of virtual ports.
c Select the VLAN Tagged check box if you want to create a tagged fault domain that consist of physical ports.
d In the VLAN ID eld, type a VLAN ID for the fault domain. Allowed values are 1–4096.
e (Optional) To assign a priority level to the VLAN, type a value from 0–7 in the Class of Service Priority eld. 0 is best eort, 1 is
the lowest priority, and 7 is the highest priority.
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 step
(Optional) Congure 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.

Create a Virtual iSCSI 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 eld, type a name for the fault domain.
6 Congure 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 eld, type an IP address to assign to the iSCSI control port.
b In the Subnet Mask eld, type the subnet mask for the well known IP address.
c In the Gateway IPv4 Address eld, type the IP address for the iSCSI network default gateway.
7 Congure VLAN tagging.
