1.

Configure Storage Networks
Use the Storage Networks dialog box to configure a preferred private storage network for iSCSI traffic
between your HP Storage System and any connected servers that use the iSCSI protocol. This dialog
box appears the first time you use the Host an Exchange Storage Group wizard, Host a SQL Server
Database wizard, or Host a User-Defined Application wizard. Settings configured in this dialog box
affect only iSCSI traffic.
HP strongly recommends configuring all iSCSI-based storage for application servers on a dedicated
Ethernet subnet. The purpose of a private LAN for iSCSI traffic is to is to guarantee dedicated network
bandwidth for storage as well as increased security.
To configure storage networks for iSCSI traffic:
1.
Under Preferred Storage Network, select a network that will be designated to manage all iSCSI
traffic.
2.
Under Available for Failover, select a network that can be used to manage iSCSI traffic in the
event that the preferred storage network fails. In the event of iSCSI initiator failure, iSCSI traffic
fails over to the designated network.
NOTE:
Any existing iSCSI connections must be reset before changes take effect.
Resetting iSCSI connections
If you use the Storage Networks dialog box to configure a preferred private storage network for iSCSI
traffic and there are one or more existing iSCSI connections on the system, the new setting will not
take effect until the existing connections are reset through iSCSI Initiator on the connected systems.
To reset an iSCSI connection:
1.
On the system that contains the iSCSI initiator whose connection has been changed, open
Microsoft iSCSI Initiator.
2.
On the Persistent Targets tab, select the iSCSI target that resides on your HP Storage System and
then click Remove.
3.
On the Targets tab, select the iSCSI target that resides on your HP Storage System and then click
Details.
4.
Select the target identifier from the list, click Log off, and then click OK.
5.
On the Discovery tab, under Target Portals select the IP address that was previously designated
for iSCSI traffic between the application server and the HP Storage System and click Remove.
