Cabling the Management Port and Replication Port for iSCSI Replication

If replication is licensed and the Flex Port license is installed, the management (MGMT) port and replication (REPL) port can be

used to replicate data to another Storage Center.

About this task

Connect the management port and replication port on each storage controller to an Ethernet switch through which the Storage

Center

can perform replication.

NOTE: .

The Flex Port feature allows both Storage Center system management traffic and iSCSI traffic to use the same physical

network ports. However, for environments where the Storage Center system management ports are mixed with network

traffic from other devices, separate the iSCSI traffic from management traffic using VLANs.

Steps

1. Connect Flex Port Domain 1 (shown in orange) to the iSCSI network.

a. Connect Ethernet switch 1 to the corporate/management network (shown in green).

b. Connect the management port on storage controller 1 to Ethernet switch 1.

c. Connect the management port on storage controller 2 to Ethernet switch 1.

2. Connect iSCSI Embedded Domain 2 (shown in blue) to the iSCSI network.

a. Connect the replication port on storage controller 1 to Ethernet switch 2.

b. Connect the replication port on storage controller 2 to Ethernet switch 2.
