Cabling the Embedded Ports for iSCSI Host Connectivity
If the Flex Port license is installed on the Storage Center, the management port and replication port can
be connected to an Ethernet switch and used for iSCSI host connectivity.
Dell recommends using two switches dedicated for iSCSI traffic. Refer to the iSCSI Settings appendix for a
list of recommend and required settings.
Two iSCSI Networks using the Embedded Ethernet Ports on a Storage System
with Dual Fibre Channel Storage Controllers
Use two iSCSI networks to prevent an unavailable port, switch, or storage controller from causing a loss
of connectivity between the host servers and a
storage system with dual Fibre Channel (FC) storage
controllers.
About this task
This configuration includes two fault domains, two iSCSI networks, and two Ethernet switches.
• If a physical port or Ethernet switch becomes unavailable, the storage system is accessed from the
switch in the other fault domain.
• If a storage controller becomes unavailable, the virtual ports on the offline storage controller move to
the physical ports on the other storage controller.
