Configure the iSCSI Host
Introduction to Configuring the iSCSI Host
To set up iSCSI connections, ensure that you have the following information, which is 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
•
Maximum transmission unit (MTU) 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 do the following:
•
Connect the local host (the Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows Server 2012 server into
which you inserted the SmartStart media) to the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage system.
•
Connect a remote host (any Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows Server 2012 server other
than the Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows Server 2012 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 field, do one of the following:
•
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 that is running SmartStart, enter
that host IP address or DNS name.
2. Click Connect.
3. Click Next.
