Congure Embedded iSCSI Ports
Congure 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 Congure 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 trac and iSCSI trac to use the same
physical network ports. However, for environments where the Storage Center system management ports are mixed with
network trac from other devices, separate the iSCSI trac from management trac 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 Congure 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.
Set Up a localhost or VMware Host
After conguring 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
Congure 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, congure the Fibre Channel zoning.
Steps
1 On the Conguration Complete page of the Discover and Congure Storage Center wizard, click Congure this host to access a
Storage Center.
