3 Preparing PS Series volumes for import
This section details how to create a remote connection from the SC Series array to an iSCSI-connected PS
Series array.
3.1 Configuring volume access
SC Series arrays are granted access to the PS Series volumes by specifying permission to one or more of the
following endpoints: IP addresses of SC Series iSCSI initiators, or SC Series iSCSI initiator (IQN) names.
Note: SC Series access to PS Series volumes using CHAP authentication is not supported.
3.1.1 Apply permissions to PS Series volumes
Permissions are applied to PS Series volumes using the following three methods:
Basic access point: A specific endpoint connects to a specific volume. Basic access points cannot be
shared or reassigned to other volumes.
Access policy: One or more endpoints are associated to any number of available volumes. The access
policy is created independent of any specific volume association, and is then associated with the desired
volumes as a separate operation.
Access policy group: Individual access policies are combined together so that they can be managed as a
single entity.
Note: Use an access policy to manage SC Series access to PS Series volumes. Use an access policy group
to apply the SC Series access policy to volumes that are already associated with an existing access policy.
For detailed information on volume access control, refer to the Dell EqualLogic Group Administrator’s Guide,
located on the PS Series support site.
Perform the following steps to obtain the names and IP addresses of the SC Series iSCSI initiators:
1. Open the Dell Storage Client and click Log in to a Storage Center or Data Collector.
