62 Preparing Your Systems for Clustering
Viewing the Status of Your iSCSI Connections
In MD Storage Manager, click the iSCSI tab and then Configure iSCSI Host
Ports to view the status of each iSCSI port you attempted to connect to and
the configuration state of all IP addresses. If either Disconnected or
Unconfigured is displayed, check the following and repeat the iSCSI
configuration steps:
• Are all cables securely attached to each port on the host server and
storage array?
• Is TCP/IP correctly configured on all target host ports?
• Is CHAP set up correctly on both the host server and the storage array?
Set Up In-Band Management (Optional)
Out-of-band management (see Discover the Storage Array (Out-of-Band
Management Only)) is the recommended method for managing the storage
array. However, to optionally set up in-band management:
Controller 0: IP: 192.168.128.101 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Controller 1: IP: 192.168.128.102 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
NOTE: The management station you are using must be configured for network
communication to the same IP subnet as the PowerVault MD3000i iSCSI host ports.
1 Establish an iSCSI session to the MD3000i RAID storage array.
2 Restart the SMagent service.
3 Launch MD Storage Manager, and then click New .
NOTE: When you set up the first storage array management, the Add New
Storage Array window appears.
4 Select Manual and click OK .
5 Select In-band management and enter the host server name(s) or
IP address(es) of the attached host that is running the MD Storage
Manager software.
6 Click Add .
In-band management should now be successfully configured.
