Configure the iSCSI Host
Introduction to Configuring the iSCSI Host
To set up iSCSI connections, ensure that you have the information necessary to set up the iSCSI
connections between the host system and HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 Storage system:
•
Host system IP address or name
•
iSCSI port information
•
MTU (maximum transmission unit) size:
If you are using default frames, use an MTU of 1500. ◦
◦ If you have configured jumbo frames, use an MTU of 9000.
Configuring Local and Remote Connections
You can use SmartStart to:
•
Connect the local host (the Windows 2008 R2 server into which you inserted the SmartStart
media) to the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage system
•
Connect a remote host (any Windows 2008 R2 server other than the Windows 2008 R2
server into which you inserted the SmartStart media) to the HP 3PAR storage system
To connect to and configure a remote host system:
◦ You must be able to use the same ID and password to gain administrator access to both
the local host and the remote host. If you cannot use the same login, you must insert the
SmartStart media into the remote host and configure the machine as a local host.
◦ If you have set up domains on your local host system and plan to configure a remote host
system, that remote host must be in the same domain as the local host.
Connect to the iSCSI Host System
1. In the Host address text box:
•
If you are configuring the machine into which you inserted the SmartStart media, enter:
localhost
•
If you are configuring any host other than the machine running SmartStart, enter that host
IP address or DNS
2. Click Connect.
3. Click Next.
Configure Multipath I/O (MPIO)
Multipath I/O helps ensure the stability of the connection between the host and HP 3PAR StoreServ
Storage systems.
