Detailed End-to-End iSCSI Setup

This section describes the end-to-end iSCSI setup, including settings for the

iSCSI Initiator, Target, and establishing connections.

Setting Up Target IP Addresses in the PowerVault

NX1950 Storage Solution

Based on configuration (with one or two dedicated iSCSI NICs) assign

IP addresses to the iSCSI NICs. Use the IP address that you assigned to the

iSCSI NIC(s) in the Target Portals tab of the Initiator for discovery.

Setting up Target IP Addresses in the PowerVault

NX1950 Cluster Solution

To set up the Target IP address in a PowerVault NX1950 cluster solution:

Using the 3.0 iSCSI Target

Assign IP addresses to the iSCSI NICs in different subnets.

Add a virtual IP address as a cluster resource manually by adding virtual

IP address for the iSCSI NIC.

When you configure the Initiators, add the virtual IP address of the iSCSI

NIC in the

Target portals

tab.

After you complete the setup, the iSCSI Targets are managed by the active

node. During failover, the iSCSI Targets are managed by the surviving

node or the node that owns the Cluster Group.

Using the 3.1 iSCSI Target

Assign IP address to the iSCSI NICs and create highly available iSCSI

instance on each node that is added as cluster resource. Use PowerVault

NX1950 Management Console and the iSCSI snap-in to create the highly

available iSCSI instances.
