Configure iSCSI Fault Domains

For a Storage Center with iSCSI front-end ports, use the Configure Fault Tolerance page and the Fault Domain pages to enter

network information for the fault domains and ports.

1. (Optional) On the Configure Fault Tolerance page, click More information about fault domains or How to set up an iSCSI

network to learn more about these topics.

2. Click Next.

NOTE: If any iSCSI ports are down, a dialog box appears that allows you to unconfigure these ports. Unconfiguring

the down iSCSI ports will prevent unnecessary alerts.

3. On the Configure iSCSI HBA Fault Domain 1 page, enter network information for the fault domain and its ports.

NOTE: Make sure that all the IP addresses for iSCSI Fault Domain 1 are in the same subnet.

4. Click Next.

5. On the Configure iSCSI HBA Fault Domain 2 page, enter network information for the fault domain and its ports. Then click

Next.

NOTE: Make sure that all the IP addresses for iSCSI Fault Domain 2 are in the same subnet.

6. Click Next.

Confirm the Storage Center Configuration

Make sure that the configuration information shown on the Confirm Configuration page is correct before continuing.

1. Verify that the Storage Center settings are correct.

For an iSCSI storage system, verify that the iSCSI fault domain settings are correct.

To copy the configuration information to the clipboard so that it can be pasted into a document, click Copy to clipboard.

2. If the configuration information is correct, click Apply Configuration.

If the configuration information is incorrect, click Back and provide the correct information.

NOTE: After you click the Apply Configuration button, the configuration cannot be changed until after the Storage

Center is fully configured.

Initialize the Storage Center

The Storage Center sets up the system using the information provided on the previous pages.

1. The Storage Center performs system setup tasks. The Initialize Storage Center page displays the status of these tasks.

To learn more about the initialization process, click More information about Initialization.

• If one or more of the system setup tasks fails, click Troubleshoot Initialization Error to learn how to resolve the issue.

• If the Configuring Disks task fails, click View Disks to see the status of the disks detected by the Storage Center.

• If any of the Storage Center front-end ports are down, the Storage Center Front-End Ports Down dialog box opens.

Select the ports that are not connected to the storage network, then click OK.

2. When all of the Storage Center setup tasks are complete, click Next.
