B Expand a Storage network to run across multiple ports The appendix contains the following information. Topics: • Expand a Storage network Expand a Storage network You can expand a Storage network to run across multiple ports on a PowerStore T model appliance. You will require the following information to perform the steps to expand a Storage network. NOTE: The sample network resources below can be used to expand the iSCSI storage network configured in Add Storage Services on the two Dell EMC PowerSwitch Series S4148 Top-of-Rack (ToR) switches. If you did not configure the same iSCSI network described in this guide, then replace the sample resources with values matching your environment.
