Configuring the iSCSI Host Ports
The default method for configuring the iSCSI host ports, for IPv4 addressing,
is DHCP. Always use this method unless your network does not have a DHCP
server. It is advisable to assign static DHCP addresses to the iSCSI ports to
ensure continuous connectivity. For IPv6 addressing, the default method is
Stateless auto-configuration. Always use this method for IPv6.
To configure the iSCSI host ports:
1
In the AMW, select the
Setup
tab.
2
Select
Configure iSCSI Host Ports
.
The
Configure iSCSI Host Ports
window is displayed.
3
In the
iSCSI host port
list, select an appropriate RAID controller module
and an iSCSI host port.
The connection status between the storage array and the host appears in
the Status area when you select an iSCSI host port. The connection status
is either connected or disconnected. Additionally, the media access control
address (MAC) of the selected iSCSI host port appears in the MAC
address area.
NOTE: For each iSCSI host port, you can use either IPv4 settings or IPv6
settings or both.
