Make sure that your assigned addresses do not conflict with other devices on the corporate
network.
Each NIC or HBA in your server requires a unique IP address. In a server with multiple
NICs/HBAs attached directly to the storage system, or on a dedicated iSCSI network, the
initiator ports must be on separate subnets.
For example, an SSR212PP2i storage system directly attached to network interface cards
in one or two servers could assign network identifiers as follows:
Subnet mask
The subnet mask for the LAN subnet to which the iSCSI data port is connected.
Gateway
The default gateway address for the LAN to which the iSCSI data port is connected. If you
do not have a gateway, set the field to 0.0.0.0; do not leave the field blank.
Initiator iSCSI Data Ports
An SSR212PPi (single storage processor) storage system supports as many as 10
initiators; an SSR212PP2i (dual storage processor) storage system can support 20
initiators. Record the following initiator information for as many as 20 initiators in the C
section on the Administration Worksheet.
Port Name
This field is not mandatory, but you might find it useful to have a self-determined
identifier, especially in configurations with multiple iSCSI ports; for example,
srvr1NIC3prt0.
IP Address for iSCSI Initiator Port
The network IP (Internet Protocol) address of the initiator port. See the addressing
recommendations in "IP address" on page 20.
The initiator port addresses are not the related to the public IP address of the server
in which initiator ports reside.
