Click the
Initial Setup Tasks
option to see links to the remaining post-installation tasks. For more
information about each task, see the Administrator's Guide at
dell.com/powervaultmanuals
. Perform
these tasks in the order shown in the following table.
Task
Purpose
Rename the storage array
To provide a more meaningful name than the
software-assigned label, Unnamed.
Set a storage array password
To restrict unauthorized access. MD Storage
Manager may ask for a password before changing
the configuration or performing a destructive
operation.
Set up alert notifications
Set up e-mail alerts
Set up SNMP alerts
To notify individuals (by e-mail) and/or storage
enterprise management consoles, such as Dell
Management Console, (by SNMP) when a storage
array component degrades or fails, or an adverse
environmental condition occurs.
Configure a storage array
To create virtual disks and map them to hosts.
Step 2: Configure The iSCSI Ports On The Storage Array
By default, the iSCSI ports on the storage array are set to the following IPv4 settings:
Controller 0, Port 0: IP: 192.168.130.101 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Port: 3260
Controller 0, Port 1: IP: 192.168.131.101 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Port: 3260
Controller 1, Port 0: IP: 192.168.130.102 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Port: 3260
Controller 1, Port 1: IP: 192.168.131.102 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Port: 3260
NOTE: No default gateway is set.
To configure the iSCSI ports on the storage array:
1.
From MD Storage Manager navigate to the
Setup
tab on the AMW. Click
configure Ethernet
management ports
and then select
Configure iSCSI Host Ports
.
2.
Configure the iSCSI ports on the storage array.
NOTE: Using static IPv4 addressing is recommended, although DHCP is supported.
The following settings are available (depending on your specific configuration) by clicking the
Advanced button:
• Virtual LAN (VLAN) support — A VLAN is a network of different systems that behave as if they are
connected to the same segments of a local area network (LAN) and are supported by the same
switches and routers. When configured as a VLAN, a device can be moved to another location
without being reconfigured. To use VLAN on your storage array, obtain the VLAN ID from your
network administrator and enter it here.
• Ethernet priority — This parameter is set to determine a network access priority.
• TCP listening port — The port number on the storage array listens for iSCSI logins from host
server iSCSI initiators.
NOTE: The TCP listening port for the iSNS server is the port number the storage array
controller uses to connect to an iSNS server. This allows the iSNS server to register the iSCSI
target and portals of the storage array so that the host server initiators can identify them.
