Before Setting Up the PowerVault Storage

Solution as an iSCSI Target

Before you set up your storage solution as an iSCSI Target, read this section

completely. You must consider features such as Ethernet settings and security

settings for iSCSI Targets.

Best Practices for Setting Up the iSCSI Storage Area Network

Table 1-1 provides information about configuring NICs (on Target) in

different models of iSCSI networks.

• You can configure redundant paths on Initiator (hosts). Microsoft

Multipath I/O (MPIO) is supported with Initiator version of 2.06 or later.

• You require two dedicated iSCSI NICs on the Target and Initiator for

efficient MPIO connection in the PowerVault storage solution.

• iSCSI NIC teaming is not supported.

• You can configure Initiators with one or two dedicated NICs for iSCSI

based on your requirement.

NOTE: Table 1-1 provides information about the iSCSI Target NIC

configuration. The optimal connection information is also provided as options.

You can configure the iSCSI NICs according to your network requirements.

Table 1-1. Using a Single PowerVault Storage Solution as a Target

Number of NICs Details Refer to Figure

4 NIC-1 and NIC-2 - Teamed NICs for public

network

NIC-3 - iSCSI dedicated traffic (subnet A)

NIC-4 - iSCSI dedicated traffic (subnet B)

Figure 1-1

NOTE: Use this

configuration if iSCSI

traffic has more

priority than file traffic.

NIC-1 - NIC for public Network

NIC-2 - iSCSI dedicated traffic (subnet A)

NIC-3 - iSCSI dedicated traffic (subnet B)
