See the New Storage network resources for a list of: ● Network resources required to add a storage network ● Sample values used in the following steps 1. From PowerStore Manager go to Settings > Networking > Network IPs and select the Storage tab. 2. Select Create. 3. Enter the Storage network resources into the Create Storage Network wizard and select Next. See New Storage network resources for sample values. 4. Select the checkbox next to the name of the first port over which the storage traffic will run for the Storage network. PowerStore Manager will automatically map the Storage network to both the port you selected, and the corresponding port on the other node. 5. To validate the Storage network was successfully configured: a. Go to the Hardware page. b. Select the appliance name and go to the Ports page. c. Locate the port on which you created the Storage network in the Node-Module-Name column. d. The Link State should be green, and the Storage network should appear in the Mapped for Storage column. e. 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.

Create an additional Storage network in PowerStore Manager
Once you have configured and cabled the Top-of-Rack (ToR) switches to the nodes, you will need to create the Storage
network in PowerStore Manager.
See the
New Storage network resources
for a list of:
●
Network resources required to add a storage network
●
Sample values used in the following steps
1.
From PowerStore Manager go to
Settings
>
Networking
>
Network IPs
and select the
Storage
tab.
2.
Select
Create
.
3.
Enter the Storage network resources into the
Create Storage Network
wizard and select
Next
.
See
New Storage network resources
for sample values.
4.
Select the checkbox next to the name of the first port over which the storage traffic will run for the Storage network.
PowerStore Manager will automatically map the Storage network to both the port you selected, and the corresponding port
on the other node.
5.
To validate the Storage network was successfully configured:
a.
Go to the
Hardware
page.
b.
Select the appliance name and go to the
Ports
page.
c.
Locate the port on which you created the Storage network in the
Node-Module-Name
column.
d.
The
Link State
should be green, and the Storage network should appear in the
Mapped for Storage
column.
e.
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.
