The TotalStorage DS300 network ports were configured as described in 4.4.1,
“Setup of management ports of TotalStorage DS300 and DS400” on page 76 and
4.4.2, “Setting the IP addresses of the iSCSI ports from the command line

7.1.3 TotalStorage DS300 setup
For this installation, one logical drive
COLORADO-BOOT-W
was created to boot from.
The array of this logical drive is owned by controller A. An additional logical drive
with name
COLORADO-LOG
was created to have an additional logical drive during
the HBA setup. This logical drive is in its own array and also owned by Controller
A. 4.8.1, “Create arrays, logical drives, and assign IQNs on the TotalStorage
DS300” on page 114 describes how to create arrays and logical drives. The
second HBA has at this time no access to logical drives.
