Chapter 1

Workflow

This chapter describes how to connect the ETERNUS DX storage systems to a server. The workflow is shown

below.

Workflow

Installing the iSCSI Software Initiator and Setting Up the Server

Set up the OS to connect to the ETERNUS DX.

•"Chapter 6 Installing the iSCSI Software Initiator and Setting Up the Server" (page 15)

Setting Up the Server to Recognize the Logical Units

Set up the server so that it can recognize the LUNs (logical unit numbers) of the ETERNUS DX.

•"7.2 Setting Up the Server to Recognize the Logical Units" (page 22)

Setting Up the Server as Required by the System Configuration

•Set PV-Links

-"Chapter 8 Setting the Multipaths" (page 24)

•Set Logical Volume Manager (LVM)

-"3.4 LVM Notes" (page 12)

Connection to servers is possible in the following environments.

Check the "Server Support Matrix" for server environment conditions.

2.1 Hardware

Refer to the "Server Support Matrix".

2.2 OS (Operating System)

Refer to the "Server Support Matrix".

2.3 LAN Cards

Refer to the "Server Support Matrix".

2.4 Multipath Configuration

Refer to the "Server Support Matrix".

Chapter 3

Notes

Note the following issues when connecting the ETERNUS DX to a server.

3.1 ETERNUS DX Setup Notes

Be sure to set the sub system parameters.

3.2 Notes Regarding the Number of LUNs

When using PV-Links, no more than 128 LUNs should be visible on any given path. If more than 128 LUNs

are found in one path, assignment of unique Target IDs and Disk IDs will not be possible and desired behav-

ior will not be observed in this environment. This is because the PV-Links function assumes that if devices on

different paths have the same Target ID and Disk ID, then they must connect to the same LUN.

The maximum number of unique Target IDs and Disk IDs for the device is 128.

3.3 LAN Environment Notes

•The ETERNUS DX can be connected to a server via an existing LAN. However, a decrease in LAN perform-

ance may be observed by prior users of said LAN.

•Since an iSCSI LAN handles large amounts of data (traffic volumes) like an FC-SAN, the iSCSI LAN must have

its own switch and be a dedicated LAN that is separate from the business LANs.

•iSCSI LAN redundancy is achieved by the use of multipaths.

•For IP network security, separate the iSCSI LAN from the management LAN (for administration).

•The iSCSI LAN must be configured as a dedicated LAN for each path from a server to the ETERNUS DX.

LAN port

LAN switches should not

be inter-connected (*1)

A separate LAN segment is used for each

Server/Storage grouping (*2).

Here, LAN ports 1, 2 and 10 comprise VLAN1,

while LAN ports 3 and 11 comprise VLAN2.

The iSCSI LAN and management LAN

segments are kept separate in the iSCSI

LAN switches, helping maintain the security

of each.

Similarly to FC-SAN,

a dedicated LAN is used for iSCSI,

not the business LAN.

*1: In this system configuration, multipaths provide redundant connections between the servers and stor-

age system. LAN switches #1 and #2 provide physical separation of the network paths.

*2: A separate LAN segment is provided in the LAN switch (using the switch VLAN function) for each group-

ing of business servers and storage systems (equivalent to the FC zones).
