Vess supports up to 32 iSCSI portals per iSCSI port. Each iSCSI portal can belong to a different VLAN for a
maximum of 32 VLANs.
See the diagram below.
To set up the Vess subsystem for a VLAN:
1. Add a new portal with a VLAN association. See “Adding iSCSI Portals” on page 236.
Note which iSCSI port you chose for the portal.
2. Add a new target.
3. Assign the new portal with VLAN assocation to the target.
4. Map the target to a LUN. See “Adding a LUN Map” on page 223.
5. Connect your iSCSI data cable to the iSCSI port you chose for the new portal. See “iSCSI Storage Area
Network (SAN)” on page 50.
6. Add your iSCSI intiators to the Vess’s initiator list. See “Adding an iSCSI Initiator” on page 221.
For information, see:
• “Managing iSCSI Connections” on page 231.
