Configuring Shared Storage on Your

Dell|EqualLogic PS Series Storage

Array

The following sections describe how to connect nodes to the

Dell|EqualLogic PS Series volumes, align disk sectors for optimal

performance, create a basic disk, and assign a drive letter. Although all cluster

nodes must be connected to the shared volumes, you only have to align disk

sections and format the disks on the first node in the cluster.

Connecting Nodes to Volumes

After Microsoft

iSCSI Initiator is installed on a cluster node, you can

connect the node to the shared volumes, including the quorum resource

volume and the service volumes. A volume is seen on the network as an iSCSI

target. When you create a PS Series volume, the group automatically

generates an iSCSI target name. The volume name is appended to the end of

the target name. After the initiator logs into the volume, it appears as a local

disk (called an iSCSI disk) in the Disk Management utility.

NOTE: To access a volume, a node must supply an IP address, iSCSI initiator name,

or CHAP user name that matches the information in one of the volume’s access

control records. For more information, see "Restricting Access to Volumes" on

page 25.

The following steps describe how to connect to a PS Series volume:
