To configure the iSCSI HA instance perform the following steps in all
nodes of cluster system:
NOTE:
To perform this procedure, you must have Administrator rights on
the local computer. For best practices, use the Run option to perform this
procedure.

Open the PowerVault NX1950 Management Console, right-click
Microsoft iSCSI Software Target, and then click Create HA Instance
for iSCSI.
b
In the Create Highly Available Instance for iSCSI Storage dialog box,
click
Add.
c
In the Add IP Address Resource section, choose the following options:
•
Resource name—Retain the default value or enter a different
name
•
IP address—IP address to be used by iSCSI initiators to connect
to the iSCSI Target
•
Subnet mask—subnet mask to be used by iSCSI initiators to
connect to the iSCSI Target
•
Network interface—select the name of the network interface to
be used for the IP address resource of the cluster resource group.
d
Click OK and add IP address for the second NIC if you have
redundant iSCSI NIC. Click
OK again.
NOTE:
Before you create iSCSI Virtual Disks, create few Dell|EMC LUNs or
PowerVault MD3000 LUNs and assign them to the Cluster's highly-available
Sever (iSCSI HA instance) using PowerVault NX1950 Management console.
If you prefer to use the existing volume of Cluster, then move the volume to
iSCSI HA instances using Cluster Administrator. From any PowerVault NX1950
cluster node, go to Start→ All programs→ Administrative Tools→ Cluster
Administrator.
