Add IP addresses and map the Storage network to the ports

Once you have configured and cabled the Top-of-Rack (ToR) switches for expanding the storage network, you will need to add

IP addresses, and map the ports for expansion in PowerStore Manager.

See

iSCSI storage network resources

for a list of:

●

Network resources required to expand a storage network

●

Sample values used in the following steps

From PowerStore Manager go to

Settings

Networking

Network IPs

and select the

Storage

tab.

Select the checkbox next to the name of the Storage network you are expanding.

Select

Add IPs

Select

Add

in the

IP Addresses for <storage network name> page

Enter the IP addresses or address range for the addresses reserved for expanding the storage network and Select

Add

Go to the

Hardware

page.

Select the appliance name and go to the

Ports

tab.

Select the checkbox next to the name of one of the ports on which you are expanding the Storage network.

Select

Map Storage Network

10.

Select the checkbox next to the Storage network you are expanding on the

Map Storage Network

page, and Select

Map

Network

PowerStore Manager automatically maps the unused IP addresses you added in Step 5.

11.

Select

Map Network

again in the

Map Storage Network

confirmation dialog box.

PowerStore Manager will automatically map the Storage network to both the port you selected, and the corresponding port

on the other node.

12.

To validate the Storage network was successfully configured:

Locate the port on which you expanded the Storage network in the

Node-Module-Name

column.

The

Link State

should be green, and the Storage network should appear in the

Mapped for Storage

column.

Locate the corresponding port on the other appliance node, to validate that the

Link State

is green, and the Storage

network appears in the

Mapped for Storage

column.
