Setting Up an iSCSI Cluster 43
8 Connect one CAT 5e/6 cable from the other port of switch 2 to the In-1
port of RAID controller 1 in the PowerVault MD3000i storage enclosure.
9 If applicable, connect two SAS cables from the two PowerVault MD3000i
storage enclosures out ports to the two In ports of the first PowerVault
MD1000 expansion enclosure.
10 If applicable, connect two SAS cables from the two PowerVault MD3000
storage enclosures out ports to the
In-0 ports of the second
PowerVault MD1000 expansion enclosure.
NOTE: For information on configuring the PowerVault MD1000 expansion
enclosure, see the PowerVault MD3000i storage system documentation at
suport.dell.com/manuals. It is recommended to use a separate network for
the iSCSI storage infrastructure. If a separate network cannot be dedicated for
iSCSI, assign the storage function to a separate virtual local area network (VLAN);
this action creates independent logical networks within a physical network.
Installing Host-based Software Needed
for Storage
To install the necessary host-based storage software for the PowerVault
MD3000i storage system, use the Dell PowerVault Resource media that came
with your PowerVault MD3000i storage system. Follow the procedures in
the PowerVault MD3000i storage enclosure documentation at
support.dell.com/manuals, to install the Modular Disk Storage Manager
Software on the Master node and the Multi-Path (MPIO) software on the
remaining nodes.
