5.3 iSCSI Configuration
“iSCSI configuration” is designed for setting up the “Entity Property”, “NIC”,
“Node”, “Session”, and “CHAP account”.
5.3.1 NIC
The NIC tab is used to change IP addresses of iSCSI data ports.
Each port must be assigned its own IP address. They need to be configured in in multi-
homed mode, or a present link aggregation / trunking mode. When multiple iSCSI data
ports are set up in link aggregation or trunking mode, all the data ports share a single IP
address.
This figure shows four iSCSI data ports on each controller. The four 1GbE data ports are
set up with a static IP address. For the other controllers, that can be set up the same
way.
The options are available on this tab:

OP. -> Link aggregation: The default mode of each ISCSI data
port is that it is individually connected without any link aggregation
and trunking. Trunking and LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol)
settings can be set or changed by selecting the Link aggregation
option. Select Aggregation method and its options. At least two
iSCSI NICs must be selected for iSCSI bonding to work.
