You can use the SAN Volume Controller Console to
configure node Ethernet ports, which represent iSCSI ports on a SAN Volume Controller node.
Select the type of IP connection and enter the appropriate IP configuration.
This task assumes that you have already launched the SAN Volume Controller Console.
To configure a node Ethernet port, complete these steps:
- In the portfolio, click . The Viewing Node Ethernet Ports panel is displayed.
- On the Viewing Node Ethernet Ports panel, select Configure
Ethernet Node Port from the task list and click Go.
The Configure Ethernet Node Port panel displays.
- On the Configure Ethernet Node Port panel, select either
IPv4 or IPv6 for the type of IP connection that the port uses. Both
IPv4 and IPv6 can be concurrently specified; however, they must be
configured separately. For example, you can configure the IPv4 address
for the node Ethernet port first and then use this panel to configure
the IPv6 address for the port. Depending on your selection, enter
the following information for the port:
- IPv4
- Enter the following information for IPv4 connections:
- IP address
- Subnet mask
- Gateway
- IPv6
- Enter the following information for IPv6 connections:
- IP address
- Prefix
- Gateway
- Click OK.
After you have configured the node Ethernet
port on the cluster to represent the iSCSI-attached host, create a
node Ethernet port for the partner node in the I/O group. This step
is optional. However, when the node Ethernet port is configured for
the partner node, it can handle requests to both its own node-port
IP addresses and node-port IP address for the other node in the I/O
group if that node goes offline.
