Dell SCv3000 Deployment Guide

Attach the Host Servers (iSCSI)
Install the iSCSI host bus adapters (HBAs) or iSCSI network adapters, install the drivers, and make sure that the latest supported rmware
is installed.
• Contact your solution provider for a list of supported iSCSI HBAs.
• Refer to the Dell EMC Compatibility Matrix for SC, PS, and FS Series Arrays for a list of supported HBAs.
• If the host server is a Windows or Linux host:
a Install the iSCSI HBAs or network adapters dedicated for iSCSI trac in the host servers.
NOTE: Do not install iSCSI HBAs or network adapters from dierent vendors in the same server.
b Install supported drivers for the HBAs or network adapters and make sure that the HBAs or network adapter have the latest
supported rmware.
c Use the host operating system to assign IP addresses for each iSCSI port. The IP addresses must match the subnets for each
fault domain.
CAUTION: Correctly assign IP addresses to the HBAs or network adapters. Assigning IP addresses to the wrong ports
can cause connectivity issues.
NOTE: If using jumbo frames, they must be enabled and congured on all devices in the data path, adapter ports,
switches, and storage system.
d Use the iSCSI cabling diagrams to cable the host servers to the switches. Connecting host servers directly to the storage system
without using Ethernet switches is not supported.
• If the host server is a vSphere host:
a Install the iSCSI HBAs or network adapters dedicated for iSCSI trac in the host servers.
b Install supported drivers for the HBAs or network adapters and make sure that the HBAs or network adapter have the latest
supported rmware.
c If the host uses network adapters for iSCSI trac, create a VMkernel port for each network adapter (1 VMkernel per vSwitch).
d Use the host operating system to assign IP addresses for each iSCSI port. The IP addresses must match the subnets for each
fault domain.
CAUTION
: Correctly assign IP addresses to the HBAs or network adapters. Assigning IP addresses to the wrong ports
can cause connectivity issues.
NOTE: If using jumbo frames, they must be enabled and congured on all devices in the data path, adapter ports,
switches, and storage system.
e If the host uses network adapters for iSCSI trac, add the VMkernel ports to the iSCSI software initiator.
f Use the iSCSI cabling diagrams to cable the host servers to the switches. Connecting host servers directly to the storage system
without using Ethernet switches is not supported.
Attach the Host Servers (SAS)
On each host server, install the SAS host bus adapters (HBAs), install the drivers, and make sure that the latest supported rmware is
installed.
About this task
NOTE
: Refer to the Dell EMC Compatibility Matrix for SC, PS, and FS Series Arrays. for a list of supported SAS HBAs.
Steps
1 Install the SAS HBAs in the host servers.
NOTE
: Do not install HBAs from dierent vendors in the same server.
2 Install supported drivers for the HBAs and make sure that the HBAs have the latest supported rmware installed.
3 Use the SAS cabling diagram to cable the host servers directly to the storage system.
