Deployment Guide

9. Repeat steps 1-8 for each NIC you are assigning IP addresses to (NIC1 and NIC2 in the planning worksheet you created in the
“Prerequisites” section).
10. Select OK to exit network settings.
11. Select OK to exit YaST.
Configure the iSCSI initiators to connect to the ME4 Series storage system
For RHEL 7
1. From the server terminal or console, run the following iscsiadm command to discover targets (port A0):
iscsiadm –m discovery –t sendtargets –p <IP>
Where <IP> is the IP address. For example:
iscsiadm –m discovery –t sendtargets –p 172.1.100.128
2. With the discovery output, log in to each portal by running the iscsiadm command:
a. Run iscsiadm –m node –T <full IQN > -p <IP>
Where <full IQN> is the full IQN listing from the output in step 1 and <IP> is the IP address. For example:
iscsiadm –m node –T iqn.1988-11.com.abcc:01.array.bc305bb0b841-p 172.1.100.128
b. Repeat the login for each controller host port using the discovery command output in step 1.
c. Reboot the host to ensure that all targets are automatically connected.
For SLES 12
1. From the server terminal or console, use the yast command to access YaST Control Center.
2. Select Network Service > iSCSI Initiator.
3. On the Service tab, select When Booting.
4. Select the Connected Targets tab.
5. Select Add. The iSCSI Initiator Discovery screen displays.
6. Using the Example worksheet for single host server with dual port iSCSI NICs you created earlier, enter the IP address for port A0 in
the IP Address field, then click Next. For example: 172.1.100.128.
7. Select Connect.
8. On iSCSI Initiator Discovery screen, select the next adapter and then select Connect.
9. When prompted, select Continue to bypass the warning message, “Warning target with TargetName is already connected”.
10. Select Startup to Automatic, then click Next.
11. Repeat steps 2-10 for all remaining adapters.
12. Once the targets are connected, click Next > Quit to exit YaST.
13. Reboot the host to ensure that all targets are automatically connected.
Register the host and create and map volumes
1. Log in to the PowerVault Manager.
2. Access the Host Setup wizard by doing one of the following:
• From the Welcome screen, click Host Setup.
• From the Home topic, click Action > Host Setup.
3. Confirm that you have met the listed prerequisites, then click Next.
4. Enter a hostname.
5. Using the information from step 12 of the For SLES 12 to identify the correct initiators, select the iSCSI initiators for the host you are
configuring, then click Next.
6. Group hosts together with other hosts.
a. For cluster configurations, use the Host groups setting to group hosts in a cluster.
• If this host is the first host in the cluster, select create a new host group, then provide a name and click Next.
• If this host is being added to a host group that exists, select Add to existing host group. Select the group from the drop-
down list, then click Next.
b. For Stand-alone hosts, select the Do not group this host option, then click Next.
