Configure server objects on SC Series storage
15 Dell EMC SC Series Storage and Microsoft Multipath I/O | CML1004
4.3 Manual server configuration with iSCSI
Use the Configure this host to access a Storage Center option in the Dell Storage Manager client to
automatically configure a new iSCSI server object on the SC Series array, as shown in section 4.1. In cases
where this is not possible, create the server object manually using the following steps.
1. Configure two physical NIC ports on the server to use iSCSI.
2. Configure one NIC (including the necessary cabling and switching configurations) to access one
virtual iSCSI fault domain, and configure the second NIC to access the other virtual iSCSI fault
domain.
3. Once configured, the server should be able to ping both virtual iSCSI IP addresses associated with
the two iSCSI fault domains on the SC array. In this example the IPs are 10.10.95.1 (iSCSI Fault
Domain 1) and 10.10.128.1 (iSCSI Fault Domain 2).
4. Log on to the Windows server and launch the iSCSI initiator software.
5. Click Start > Administrative Tools > iSCSI Initiator. Click Yes if prompted to start the iSCSI
service.
6. Select the Discovery tab, and click Discover Portal.
7. Enter the IP address of the control port for iSCSI Fault Domain 1 on the SC Series array, and click
Advanced.
