4.5 ISCSI Interface
The AMS200 provides 4 iSCSI ports by adding an optional iSCSI interface board. The iSCSI
interface is capable of operating at data transfer speed of up to 100 M bytes/s. The AMS200
supports Ethernet (1000Base-TX). With the HBA for iSCSI, Generic NIC + Software initiator,
and Network Switch, the AMS200 subsystem can be located up to 100 meters.
Connect the switch based on the 1000BASE-T(full-duplex). Use the LAN cable with the
following types and shapes.
– Cable type: category 5e or category 6
– Connector shape: RJ-45
When you connect the physical port of the switch directly with the host and iSCSI port of the
AMS200, do not set the Spanning Tree protocol function to ON. It may cause communication
interference.
4.5.1 Setting iSCSI Information
The following iSCSI information is set for iSCSI ports. When the iSCSI interface board is not
added to the control unit, this information is not set for each host connector that connects
the AMS200 Fibre Channel.
– iSCSI Port IP address
– iSNS Server
– Adding target
– Target option
