Appendix — Manual Configuration Of iSCSI
The following sections contain step-by-step instructions for configuring iSCSI on your storage array. However, before
beginning, it is important to understand where each of these steps occur in relation to your host server or storage array
environment.
The table below shows each iSCSI configuration step and where it occurs.
This Step is Performed on the Host Server Using the
Microsoft or Linux iSCSI Initiator
3. Perform target discovery from the iSCSI initiator
6. (Optional) Configure CHAP authentication on the host
server
7. Connect to the storage array from the host server
Step 1: Discover The Storage Array (Out-of-band Management
Only)

Default Management Port Settings

By default, the storage array management ports are set to Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). If the
controllers on your storage array are unable to get IP configuration from a DHCP server, it times out after 10 seconds
and falls back to a default static IP address. The default IP configuration is:
Controller 0: IP:
Controller 1: IP:
NOTE: No default gateway is set.
NOTE: If DHCP is not used, initial configuration using the management station must be performed on the same
physical subnet as the storage array. Additionally, during initial configuration, at least one network adapter must
be configured on the same IP subnet as the storage array's default management port (192.168.128.101 or
192.168.128.102). After initial configuration (management ports are configured using PowerVault MD Storage
Manager), the management station's IP address can be changed back to its previous settings.
NOTE: This procedure applies to out-of-band management only. If you choose to set up in-band management, you
must complete this step and then see
192.168.128.101 Subnet
192.168.128.102 Subnet
Step 8: (Optional) Set Up In-Band
This Step is Performed on the Storage Array Using
PowerVault MD Storage Manager
1. Discover the storage array
2. Configure the iSCSI ports on the storage array
4. Configure host access
5. (Optional) Configure CHAP authentication on the
storage array
8. (Optional) Set up in-band management
