The management interface is setup after the array is configured. When the host connects, it will be redirected to a physical eth interface on the arrry (the array does this through ARP redirect). Regarding VMware, you configure this (and any host iSCSI Initiator for that matter) to connect to the Group IP address. Second, yes the Group IP, and each iSCSI interface IP (i.e., eth0, eth1, etc.), need to be setup as A) on the iSCSI network, and B) unique If this is true and I will be using the SAN for VMWare, how will the Host Integration Tools/VMWare plugin/SANHeadquarters software work? Will they be able to contact the SAN through the management IP, or will they need access to the group/member IPs?įirst, you can't use the management interface to setup the array using the Remote Setup Wizard, you need to be using one of the iSCSI “eth” interface (i.e., eth0 for example). So if I'm understanding this correctly, the member IP and group IP should be in my iSCSI range (192.168.130.0/24)? Then I could connect via browser and ssh.

Turns out I had to manually use a command like Then tried to connect to the webserver or ssh, and nothing. Assign IPs to the group and member, using management IPs. OK, so use the serial cable and run through the prompts. Install the Client Integration tools (Remote Setup Util) on my laptop which is connected to the management LAN. The iSCSI ports were connected to our dedicated iSCSI switches, and the management port, to the management switch (natch) There are two controllers, 4x gigabit ports for iSCSI, then 1x additional management port. Just got a PS6100 SAN to set up, first time with this type of kit.
