tab.

Click

Create

Enter the Storage network resources into the

Create Storage Network

wizard and select

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.

Repeat steps 1 - 3 for each network you are adding.

If not using the Default Storage network for the Replication and Block Import network, tag the network you will be using for

Replication and Block Import.

Go to the

Hardware

page.

Select the appliance name and go to the

Ports

page.

Select the checkbox next to the port you are tagging for replication in the

Node-Module-Name

column.

Open the

More Actions

drop-down menu and select

Tag for Replication

The network appears selected in the

Tagged fro Replication

column.

To validate the Storage network was successfully configured:

Go to the

Hardware

page.

Select the appliance name and go to the

Ports

page.

Locate the port on which you created 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.
