Configuring iSCSI IP Addresses in a Batch

Prerequisites

The iSCSI service has been enabled on a server.

Procedure

1. Choose Services > Block Service > iSCSI Service.
2. Select servers whose iSCSI IP addresses you want to configure and click Configure iSCSI IP Address.

   The Configure iSCSI IP Address page is displayed.

3. Configure the iSCSI IP address. Table 1 describes related parameters.

   Table 1 iSCSI IP address parameters

   Parameter	Description
   IP Address Range	Indicates the IP address segment of the iSCSI service. NOTE: The IP addresses in the IP address segment cannot be in the same network segment as those of other ports on the node. In the event of using an IPv4 address: A 32-bit IPv4 address is divided into four 8-bit fields that are expressed in dotted decimal notation. Each field of the IPv4 address must be an integer. The value of the leftmost field ranges from 1 to 223 (excluding 127). The values of the other fields range from 0 to 255. An IPv4 address cannot be set to a special address such as a broadcast address. Example: 192.168.1.100 In the event of using an IPv6 address: A 128-bit IPv6 address is divided into eight 16-bit fields. Each 16-bit field consists of four colon-separated hexadecimal numbers. In each 16-bit field, leading zeros can be omitted for simplicity. However, at least one digit must be reserved in each field. To achieve further simplicity, you can use a double colon (::) in place of a series of zeros. A double colon can be used only once in an IPv6 address. It can also represent the neighboring consecutive zeros at the beginning or end of an IPv6 address. An IPv6 address cannot be set to a special one, such as a network address, loopback address, or multicast address. Example: fc00::1234
   Mask/Prefix	When an IPv4 address is used, this parameter indicates the subnet mask of the IP address and identifies the subnet to which the IP address belongs. When an IPv4 address is used, this parameter indicates the prefix length of the IPv6 address.
   Port	Indicates the iSCSI monitoring port. NOTE: Click . In the Manage Bond Ports dialog box that is displayed, set related parameters of bond ports.

   

   You can click to configure multiple IP address segments. The system will assign IP addresses to the selected servers in sequence based on the configured IP address segments.

4. Click Preview.

   Preview the iSCSI IP addresses and ports of the servers in the list below.

   

   • Click More on the right of the desired server and select Modify. On the Modify page that is displayed, you can change the iSCSI IP address and port of the server.
   • Click More on the right of the desired server and select Manage Bond Ports. On the page that is displayed, you can set a bond port of the server.

5. Click OK.
6. Confirm your operation as prompted.
