58 Setting Up Your iSCSI Storage Array
Step 8: (Optional) Set Up In-Band Management
Out-of-band management (see Step 1: 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, use the steps shown below.
The default iSCSI host port IPv4 addresses are shown below for reference:
Controller 0, Port 0: IP: 192.168.130.101
Controller 0, Port 1: IP: 192.168.131.101
Controller 1, Port 0: IP: 192.168.130.102
Controller 1, Port 1: IP: 192.168.131.102
NOTE: The management station you are using must be configured for network communication to the same IP
subnet as the MD3000i host ports.
NOTE: By default, the MD3000i host ports are not IPv6 enabled. To use IPv6 for in-band management, you
must first connect either out-of-band, or in-band using the default IPv4 addresses. Once this is done, you can
enable IPv6 and begin step 1 below using the IPv6 addresses.
1
Establish an iSCSI session to the MD3000i RAID storage array.
2
In either Windows or Linux, restart the SMagent service.
3
Launch MD Storage Manager.
If this is the first storage array to be set up for management, the
