IP address scheme for the controller pair — four iSCSI ports per controller
When all CNC ports are configured for iSCSI, the scheme is similar to the one described for two-ports
above.
For example (with a netmask of 255.255.255.0):
l
Controller A port 0: 10.10.10.100
l
Controller A port 1: 10.11.10.120
l
Controller A port 2: 10.10.10.110
l
Controller A port 3: 10.11.10.130
l
Controller B port 0: 10.10.10.140
l
Controller B port 1: 10.11.10.150
l
Controller B port 2: 10.10.10.160
l
Controller B port 3: 10.11.10.170
In addition to setting the port-specific options described above, you can view settings using the GUI.
l
If using the V3 disk management utility, in the System topic, select Action > Set Up Host Ports.
o
The Host Ports Settings panel opens, allowing you to access host connection settings.
l
If using V2 disk management utility, in the Configuration View panel, right-click the system and select
Configuration > System Settings > Host Interfaces.
o
The Configure Host Interface panel opens, allowing you to access host connection settings.
Change the CNC port mode
This subsection applies to QXS-3, QXS-4, and QXS-6 Series models only. While the USB cable is still
connected and the terminal emulator session remains active, perform the following steps to change the
CNC port mode from the default setting (FC), to either iSCSI or FC-and-iSCSI used in combination.
When using FC SFPs and iSCSI SFPs in combination, host ports 0 and 1 are set to FC (either both 16
Gbits/s or both 8 Gbit/s), and host ports 2 and 3 must be set to iSCSI (either both 10GbE or both 1 Gbit/s).
Set CNC port mode to iSCSI
To set the CNC port mode for use with iSCSI SFPs, run the following command at the command prompt:
