Fundamental tasks, in initial configuration sequence Configuring a new system includes the following tasks, performed in the following sequence: • Configuring management and data ports • Configuring hard drives • Creating storage targets • Adding authorized initiators Configuring management and data ports As described in the installation documents, the array connects to the network switch from its Ethernet iSCSI module. IMPORTANT: In dual-controller configurations, an additional Ethernet iSCSI module is installed in the chassis, providing the redundant path to a separate iSCSI network switch. Ports on both modules must be configured. When configuring management and data ports, consider the following: • Isolate management traffic from storage traffic, by assigning IP addresses in different LAN segments. • Assign one (or more) IP addresses to each port, and then assign one (or more) TCP portals to each IP address. • Enable/disable the following management services as needed for your environment: • TELNET (default: disabled) • SSH (default: enabled) • HTTP (default: enabled) • HTTPS (default: enabled) • SNMP (default: enabled) • Assign IP addresses and TCP portals to the data ports as outlined on your Path/Accessibility Diagram. (When configuring the storage targets, each target is assigned to a specific group of IP portals, controlling access to the storage and the flow of storage traffic.) NOTE: The maximum supported number of IP addresses and portals may differ, depending on the storage system and the model of its supported array controller. See your system user documents for more information. Configuring the management port IMPORTANT: Dual-controller configurations should configure the management port associated with each controller. • The default management port for controller A is MA0. • The default management port for controller B is MB0. 1.

Fundamental tasks, in initial con
fi
guration sequence
Con
fi
guring a new system includes the following tasks,
performed in the following sequence
:
•
Con
fi
guring management and data ports
•
Con
fi
guring hard drives
•
Creating storage targets
•
Adding authorized initiators
Con
fi
guring management and data ports
As described in the installation documents, the array connects to the network switch from its Ethernet
iSCSI module.
IMPORTANT:
In dual-controller con
fi
gurations, an additional Ethernet iSCSI module is installed in the chassis, providing
the redundant path to a separate iSCSI network switch. Ports on both modules must be con
fi
gured.
When con
fi
guring management and data ports, consider the following:
•
Isolate management traf
fi
c from storage traf
fi
c, by assigning IP addresses in different LAN
segments.
•
Assign one (or more) IP addresses to each port, and then assign one (or more) TCP portals
to each IP address.
•
Enable/disable the following management services as needed for your environment:
•
TELNET (default: disabled)
•
SSH (default: enabled)
•
HTTP (default: enabled)
•
HTTPS (default: enabled)
•
SNMP (default: enabled)
•
Assign IP addresses and TCP portals to the data ports as outlined on your Path/Accessibility
Diagram. (When con
fi
guring the storage targets, each target is assigned to a speci
fi
c group of IP
portals, controlling access to the storage and the
fl
ow of storage traf
fi
c.)
NOTE:
The maximum supported number of IP addresses and portals may differ, depending on the storage system
and the model of its supported array controller. See your system user documents for more information.
Con
fi
guring the management port
IMPORTANT:
Dual-controller con
fi
gurations should con
fi
gure the management port associated with each controller.
•
The default management port for controller A is MA0.
•
The default management port for controller B is MB0.
1.
To clarify the display, expand the
View as
drop-down box and select the iSCSI view.
2.
Expand (

) the component list for an installed
MSA1510i controller
