Fundamental tasks, in initial configuration sequence

Configuring a new system includes the following tasks, performed in the following sequence:

Configuring management and data ports
Configuring hard drives
Creating storage targets
Adding authorized initiators

Configuring management and data ports

As described in the installation documents, the array connects to the network switch from its Ethernet

iSCSI module.

IMPORTANT:

In dual-controller configurations, an additional Ethernet iSCSI module is installed in the chassis, providing

the redundant path to a separate iSCSI network switch. Ports on both modules must be configured.

When configuring management and data ports, consider the following:

Isolate management traffic from storage traffic, by assigning IP addresses in different LAN

segments.

Assign one (or more) IP addresses to each port, and then assign one (or more) TCP portals

to each IP address.

Enable/disable the following management services as needed for your environment:
• TELNET (default: disabled)
• SSH (default: enabled)
• HTTP (default: enabled)
• HTTPS (default: enabled)
• SNMP (default: enabled)

Assign IP addresses and TCP portals to the data ports as outlined on your Path/Accessibility

Diagram. (When configuring the storage targets, each target is assigned to a specific group of IP

portals, controlling access to the storage and the flow of storage traffic.)

NOTE:

The maximum supported number of IP addresses and portals may differ, depending on the storage system

and the model of its supported array controller. See your system user documents for more information.

Configuring the management port

IMPORTANT:

Dual-controller configurations should configure the management port associated with each controller.

The default management port for controller A is MA0.

The default management port for controller B is MB0.
