Create a VLAN Copy of an 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. Expand the Dell Storage Manager menu, and then click Storage.
2. In the SC Series tab, select a Storage Center to open the Storage Center view.
3. Click the Storage tab, and then click the Fault Domains subtab.
4. In the Fault Domains subtab, click More Actions → Create VLAN Copy. The Create VLAN Copy 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 the VLAN ID for the fault domain. Allowed values are 1–4096.
b. 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. Click OK.
Modifying iSCSI Fault Domains
Modify an iSCSI fault domain to change its name, modify network settings for iSCSI ports in the domain, add or remove iSCSI ports,
or delete the fault domain.
NOTE: For user interface reference information, click Help.
Rename an iSCSI Fault Domain
The fault domain name allows administrators to identify the fault domain.
1. Expand the Dell Storage Manager menu, and then click Storage.
2. In the SC Series tab, select a Storage Center to open the Storage Center view.
3. Click the Storage tab, and then click the Fault Domains subtab.
4. Select the fault domain, then click Edit. The Edit iSCSI Fault Domain dialog box opens.
5. In the Name field, type a name for the fault domain.
6. Click OK.
Modify iSCSI Fault Domain Control Port Network Settings
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.
Prerequisites
The Storage Center iSCSI ports must be configured for virtual port mode.
Steps
1. Expand the Dell Storage Manager menu, and then click Storage.
