Planning the MPX200 installation Before installing the MPX200, it is important to define the requirements for iSCSI server connectivity and MPX200 multifunction usage. You should consider present and future needs as they relate to the following MPX200 configuration attributes: • Simultaneous operation You can configure the MPX200 chassis with a single blade or dual blades to run up to two operations simultaneously per blade as shown in Table 2. • iSCSI operation • Dual-blade configurations are for high availability • Total number of initiators • Number of paths required per initiator • Use of Internet Storage Name Service (iSNS) • Use of iSCSI ports • Load balancing • 10-GbE initiators Table 2 MPX200 blade configurations Single blade chassis (blade1/blade2) Dual-blade chassis (blade1/blade2) iSCSI/empty iSCSI/iSCSI1 iSCSI-FCIP/empty iSCSI-FCIP/iSCSI-FCIP1 iSCSI-DMS/empty iSCSI-DMS/iSCSI-DMS1 FCIP/empty FCIP/FCIP2 DMS/empty DMS/DMS3 iSCSI-DMS/iSCSI-FCIP 1 iSCSI-FCIP/iSCSI-DMS1 1Dual-blade iSCSI configurations are always configured for high availability. 2Dual-blade FCIP configurations can be configured for separate operation or high availability. 3Dual-blade DMS (data migration services) configurations are always configured for separate operation.
