5 Guidelines for Configuring Your Network for iSCSI This section provides general guidelines for setting up your network environment and IP addresses for use with the iSCSI ports on your host server and storage array. Your specific network environment may require different or additional steps than shown here, so make sure you consult with your system administrator before performing this setup. Microsoft Windows Host Setup To set up a Windows host network, you must configure the IP address and netmask of each iSCSI port connected to the storage array. The specific steps depend on whether you are using a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, static IP addressing, Domain Name System (DNS) server, or Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) server. NOTE: The server IP addresses must be configured for network communication to the same IP subnet as the storage array management and iSCSI ports. If you are using a DHCP server: 1 In the Control Panel, select Network connections or Network and Sharing Center and then click Manage network connections. 2 Right-click the network connection you want to configure and select Properties. 3 On the General tab (for a local area connection) or the Networking tab (for all other connections), select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and then click Properties. 4 Select Obtain an IP address automatically, then click OK. If you are using static IP addressing: 1 In the Control Panel, select Network connections or Network and Sharing Center and then click Manage network connections. 2 Right-click the network connection you want to configure and select Properties.
