Creating a SCSI Routing Instance
Creating a SCSI Routing Instance
Creating a SCSI routing instance consists of naming the new instance. Use the following procedure to
create a SCSI routing instance.
Configuring a Server Interface
Configuring a server interface consists of assigning a primary Gigabit Ethernet interface along with an
IP address and subnet mask to the desired SCSI routing instance. If the SN 5428-2 is to be used with
VLAN, specify the VLAN by its VID.
You can also choose one of the following configuration options:
• Each SCSI routing instance can be configured with multiple server interfaces. This allows IP hosts
to connect to the instance and access iSCSI targets using any of the assigned server interface IP
addresses.
• Each server interface can be assigned a secondary Gigabit Ethernet interface. The server interface
IP address automatically moves to the secondary Gigabit Ethernet interface if the connection to the
IP host from the primary Gigabit Ethernet interface is lost. To use this feature, both Gigabit Ethernet
interfaces must be connected to the same network.
Note If you configure a Gigabit Ethernet IP address with a secondary interface, all Gigabit Ethernet IP
addresses on the same subnet must also be configured with the same secondary interface.
Note The IP address assigned to the server interface for the SCSI routing instance cannot be on the same
subnet as any other network interface.
Without VLAN
Use the following procedure to configure a server interface for a SCSI routing instance.
Command Description
Step 1
enable Enter Administrator mode.
Step 2
scsirouter zeus Create a SCSI routing instance by naming the new instance (zeus).
Note You can define up to 12 instances on a single SN 5428-2 or
across a cluster. See Chapter 10, “Configuring a High
Availability Cluster,” for additional details about
configuring clusters for high availability.
Command Description
Step 1
enable Enter Administrator mode.
Step 2
scsirouter zeus serverif ge2
10.1.0.45/24
Assign a server interface (ge2) to the desired SCSI routing
instance (zeus). Specify the IP address and subnet mask
(10.1.0.45/24) that IP hosts will use to access the SCSI routing
instance. In this example, the subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 was
set using CIDR style (/24).
