Configure Embedded iSCSI Ports

Two iSCSI Networks Using the Embedded Ethernet Ports on a Storage

System with Dual iSCSI 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 iSCSI 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.

NOTE: The Flex Port feature allows both Storage Center system management traffic and iSCSI traffic

to use the same physical network ports. However, for environments where the Storage Center

system management ports are mixed with network traffic from other devices (such as voice,

backups, or other computing devices), separate iSCSI traffic from management traffic using VLANs.

Steps

1. Connect each server and Ethernet switch 1 to the corporate/management network (shown in green).

2. Connect each server to both iSCSI networks.

3. Connect embedded fault domain 1 (shown in orange) to iSCSI network 1.

a. Connect the management port on storage controller 1 to Ethernet switch 1.

b. Connect the management port on storage controller 2 to Ethernet switch 1

4. Connect embedded fault domain 2 (shown in blue) to iSCSI network 2.

a. Connect the replication port on storage controller 1 to Ethernet switch 2.

b. Connect the replication port on storage controller 2 to Ethernet switch 2.
