Notes:
- If you are using a router, be sure to use an IP address that is outside the range of
IP addresses your router might assign with DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol). Check the documentation for your router for more information.
- If you choose to modify the Frame size (MTU) , ensure that the size you enter is
supported by your computer and router or switch. There needs to be end-to-end
matching of MTU settings, from the Drobo B800i to your switch or router to your
host computer.
- If you will be using your Drobo B800i in a multi-host, virtual environment, make
note of the iSCSI settings, as you will need to add them to the initiator software that
comes with your VM operating system.
4. In the iSCSI 2 area, change the settings for the second iSCSI port as needed.
5. Click the OK button.
Connecting Cables with iSCSI
You are now ready to safely power down your Drobo B800i, disconnect the USB cable,
connect the iSCSI cable and then power on your Drobo B800i again. Refer to the image
below as you follow the steps.
Warning: It is important to always shut down your Drobo device safely. Improper
Drobo device shutdowns may cause file corruption and/or data loss.
Note: Only the USB cable interface or the iSCSI (Ethernet) cable interface can be
used at any one time. If both are plugged in, only the USB interface will be active.
