ProSafe M5300 Switch
To configure global iSCSI settings:
1. In the iSCSI Status field, either Enable or Disable iSCSI optimization on the switch. The
default is Disable.
2. In the QoS Profile field, select the quality of service profile that will be applied to iSCSI
flows.
• VLAN Priority Tag
• DSCP
By default, iSCSI flows are assigned to the highest VPT/DSCP mapped to the highest
queue not used for stack management or voice VLAN. Be sure to configure the relevant
Class of Service parameters for the queue in order to complete the setting.
Setting the VPT/DSCP sets the QoS profile which determines the egress queue to which
the frame is mapped. The switch default setting for egress queues scheduling is
Weighted Round Robin (WRR). You can complete the QoS setting by configuring the
relevant ports to work in other scheduling and queue management modes via the Class
of Service settings.
3. If using VLAN Priority as the QoS profile, use the VLAN Priority Tag field to assign a VLAN
Priority value to iSCSI session packets.
4. If using DSCP as the QoS profile, use the DSCP field to assign a DSCP value to iSCSI
session packets.
5. If using DSCP as the QoS profile, specify whether to enable or disable the Remark mode.
The default is Disable.
Enabling Remark allows the packets to be updated with IEEE 802.1p or IP-DSCP values.
Remarking packets with priority data provides special QoS treatment as the packets
continue through the network.
6. In the iSCSI Aging Time field, set the number of minutes a session can be inactive prior to
removal.
7. Click APPLY to update the switch with the changes.
8. Click CANCEL to abandon the changes.
