To set up a Linux host network, you must configure the IP address and

netmask of each iSCSI port connected to the storage array. The specific steps

depend on whether you are configuring TCP/IP using DHCP or configuring

TCP/IP using a static IP address.

NOTE:

The server IP addresses must be configured for network communication to

the same IP subnet as the storage array management and iSCSI ports.

Using DHCP

If you are using DHCP (root users only):

1 Edit the /etc/sysconfig/network file:

NETWORKING=yes HOSTNAME=mymachine.mycompany.com

2 Edit the configuration file for the connection you want to configure, either

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX (for Red Hat Enterprise Linux)

or

/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth-id-XX:XX:XX:XX:XX (for SUSE

Enterprise Linux).

BOOTPROTO=dhcp

3 Restart network services using the following command:

/etc/init.d/network restart
