Continue for up to 10 servers . . .
Management port IP addresses should match the iSCSI LAN address scheme.
Advantages
Low-cost storage for up to ten servers.
Improved security: System management requires a connection to the private network.
Connection to multiple servers maximizes use of the storage system s capabilities.
You can increase throughput by adding NICs to the configuration.
Connection to each SP port from both switches provides redundant data paths in case
one path fails.
Disadvantages
Reduced access for remote management: To perform management tasks, you must be
connected to a host on the private network.
One storage processor does not allow for failover in case of SP failure.
SSR212PP2i Connected to a Dedicated iSCSI/Management Network
(Single-Initiator Server)
Figure 16 shows a variation of the previous SSR212PP2i configuration with up to ten
servers on a dedicated LAN. Each server has a single iSCSI initiator, and is connected
with a single Ethernet switch to the storage system s iSCSI data and management ports.
