192.168.11.125.

• The target is ION Accelerator in HA mode. Each node has a card installed and configured for

iSCSI. The IP addresses are 192.168.10.8 and192.168.11.8 for the first node, and
192.168.10.9 and 192.168.11.9 for the second node.

• An ION Accelerator volume of 100GB is used, with LUNs already created and presented to

the Windows initiator.
