HA Instance for iSCSI. If an highly-available instance already exists in the
cluster, the following message appears:
A highly available instance already exists. Would
you like to configure a new instance?
2 Click Yes. The Create Highly Available Instance for iSCSI Storage screen
appears.
3 Click Add. The Add IP Address Resource screen appears.
4 Enter the resource name, IP address, subnet mask, and choose the network
interface according to your iSCSI configuration setup. Configure the
iSCSI HA instance IP address on the NIC that is dedicated for iSCSI
traffic.
NOTE:
If the Resource name exceeds the maximum allowable size of 15
characters, it is truncated to 15 characters.
5 Click OK. The highly-available iSCSI instance is created successfully.
6 Repeat the procedure for all nodes of the PowerVault NX1950 cluster
solution.
