SANRAD V-Switch Switch User Manual


 
Sample Configurations 271
Configuring a Cluster
You have just purchased two V-Switches and are ready to configure your
host/storage network. Your company has one LAN for storage access and
V-Switch management connections.
Your management station IP address is 212.199.43.40.
You have one FC JBOD that contains four disks.
Because you have only one company LAN, you will be using only one
network port, Eth 2, to connect the V-Switches to the company hosts. Your
LAN mask is 212.199.43.
You have two hosts 1 and 2 with Microsoft iSCSI initiators and running on
Windows™ 2000 OS.
You will create identical V-Switch and volume configuration files for each
V-Switch, with only the V-Switch aliases being unique.
You will create two mirrored volumes, Mirror1 and Mirror2, one to be
exposed on V-Switch 1 to one host and one to be exposed on V-Switch 2 to
both hosts.
This example explains how to:
Initialize the V-Switches via the LCD display panel and control
buttons.
Name the V-Switches.
Identify a physical disk on multiple V-Switches.
Manage the V-Switches via terminal and Telnet session.
Configure a network port for IP takeover in the event that a
neighboring V-Switch goes offline.
Configure a cluster.
Enable host access to more than one iSCSI target.
