3 Configuring the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage for iSCSI
Configuring the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage
To configure 1 Gb iSCSI target ports on the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage for connection to an iSCSI
Initiator, perform the following steps:
1. Check the current settings of the iSCSI ports by issuing the showport -iscsi command.
The following examples are for the 1 Gb iSCSI ports on the array.
# showport -iscsi
N:S:P State IPAddr Netmask Gateway TPGT MTU Rate DHCP iSNS_Prim iSNS_Sec iSNS_Port
0:3:1 offline 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 31 1500 n/a 0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 3205
0:3:2 loss-sync 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 32 1500 n/a 0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 3205
1:3:1 offline 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 131 1500 n/a 0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 3205
1:3:2 loss-sync 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 132 1500 n/a 0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 3205
2. Set up the IP address and netmask address of the iSCSI target ports by issuing the
controliscsiport addr <ipaddr> <netmask> [-f] <node:slot:port>
command.
# controliscsiport addr 10.0.100.101 255.255.255.0 -f 0:3:1
# controliscsiport addr 10.0.101.201 255.255.255.0 -f 1:3:1
3. Verify the changed settings by issuing the showport -iscsi command.
4. If the host is connected to the IP fabric and its Ethernet interface has been configured, you can
issue the ping command to verify that the Ethernet switch ports where the HP 3PAR StoreServ
Storage iSCSI target ports and iSCSI Initiator host connect are visible to each other.
Configuring Ports for an iSCSI Connection
To configure 10 Gb iSCSI target ports on the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage for connection to an
iSCSI Initiator, complete the following steps:
NOTE: The steps to configure the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage iSCSI ports to connect to a Host
with Software iSCSI initiator are the same as for a Host with Hardware iSCSI initiator.
1. 10 Gb iSCSI ports on HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage 10000 and HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage
7000 arrays require a one-time configuration using the controlport command. Use the
showport and showport -i commands to verify the configuration setting.
For example:
# showport
N:S:P Mode State ----Node_WWN---- -Port_WWN/HW_Addr- Type Protocol
0:3:1 suspended config_wait - - cna -
0:3:2 suspended config_wait - - cna -
# showport -i
