Quick Start Guide The iSR6250 is an intelligent storage router that provides servers with iSCSI connectivity to SAN-attached Fibre Channel-based disk or tape storage. Suggested Configurations Figure 1 shows the iSR6250 connecting iSCSI servers to a direct-attached storage array. iSCSI FC iSCSI iSCSI Initiator iSR6250 IP Switched Network Server RAID Based Fibre Channel Storage System Figure 1.
Installation Instructions This Quick Start Guide describes how to install and configure your new QLogic iSR6250 router by following these steps: ❑ Step 1. Verify the package contents. ❑ Step 2. Complete the pre-installation checklist. ❑ Step 3. Mount the router. ❑ Step 4. Install the SFPs. ❑ Step 5. Apply power to the iSR6250 router. ❑ Step 6. Install the SANsurfer® Router Manager. ❑ Step 7. Configure iSR6250 management port IP address. ❑ Step 8. Run the configuration wizard. ❑ Step 9.
Table 1. Worksheet for Router Blade 1 (left) Parameters (Continued) IP address of the iSNS server for iSCSI port 2 (if iSNS will be enabled) iSCSI port 3 IP address, subnet mask, and gateway for the 10GbE-1 port IP address of the iSNS server for iSCSI port 3 (if iSNS will be enabled) iSCSI port 4 IP address, subnet mask, and gateway for the 10GbE-2 port IP address of the iSNS server for iSCSI port 4 (if iSNS will be enabled) Table 2.
Step 3. Mount the Router Mount the router in the rack using the rack mount kit with instructions provided. Step 4. Install the SFPs An SFP transceiver is required for each router port that will be connected to a Fibre Channel device or switch. SFPs are included in the package.

Verify that the router’s input power LED is illuminated. The iSR6250 router runs its self test and begins normal operation—this may take a minute. 5.
Step 7. Configure iSR6250 Management Port IP Address 1. Connect the router’s Management Port (10/100 Ethernet) to your workstation using a switch or hub. As an alternative, you may connect your workstation directly to the router using an Ethernet crossover cable. The iSR6250 management port’s default IP address is 10.0.0.1 subnet 255.0.0.0. Make sure the workstation connected to the iSR6250 router has Ethernet address 10.0.0.x, where x is other than 1 and subnet mask is 255.0.0.0. 2.
Step 8. Run the Configuration Wizard 1. Start the SANsurfer® Router Manager previously installed on the computer that will manage the iSR6250. You should see a display as shown in the following figures. 2. Click the Connect button on the top-left corner. 3. Enter the IP address of the iSR6250 you want to configure. 4. Select the router blade to be configured (Blade 1 or 2) from the system tree (in left panel). 5. Click Yes to start the configuration wizard.
6. Enter the Symbolic Name for this router. 7. Select each iSCSI port and use the wizard to enter IP addresses for the iSCSI port, and optionally, the IP address of an iSNS server. NOTE: QLogic recommends that you enable Flow Control for your 10GbE interfaces (10GbE1 and 10GbE2 ports). You must also enable Flow Control on the Ethernet switch to which you are connecting the router. Ethernet flow control is defined by IEEE 802.3x. 8. Save the changes; the default password is “config.” 9.
Step 9. Present LUNs to iSCSI Initiators 1. If the iSR6250 is connected in the FC fabric, make sure the FC fabric zoning is set so that FC storage array ports and router FC ports are in the same zone. 2. Using storage array management software, create all LUNs you want to present to all iSCSI initiators through this iSR6250. Present the LUNs from the FC storage array to the iSR6250 using WWPNs of this iSR6250.
c. Launch the Presentation Wizard from the Wizards drop-down menu. This wizard allows you to map a LUN to the iSCSI initiator on your server. The screen that allows this mapping looks like this: d. Save the mappings using your management password.
e. Refresh the SANsurfer Router Manager display. Now, when you select your iSCSI initiator on the LHS of the display, you should be able to see the LUNs mapped to that initiator as follows: f. Return to the Windows Server screen and select LogOn to log on to this target. The status should change from Inactive to Connected. Step 10. Configure Second Blade Repeat steps 8 and 9 for the second blade.
