iSCSI for TL-Series Tape Libraries

SEPTEMBER 2008

SECTION 5

STORAGE TARGETS : TL2000 / TL4000

Set-up of the TL2000/TL4000 with iSCS-to-SAS bridge card follows the same process:

Select Connections and set the IP address and frame size for the port(s).

SECTION 6

Assuming a Dell PowerVault MD3000i, an iSCS disk array, is connect to the example network,

the initial configuration would require physically installing & powering on the unit and then in-

stalling and running Modular Disk Storage Manager (MDSM) on the host computer. After in-

stallation of MDSM has been completed on the host computer, the disk array must be discov-

ered by the host. The default management IP addresses for the MD3000i are

192.168.128.101 for Controller 0 and 192.168.128.101 for Controller 1. After these addresses

are used to establish connectivity to the unit, the remaining steps include setting up disk

groups, creating virtual disks, and assigning LUNs (Logical Unit Numbers) to the virtual disks.

More information on this can be found in the documentation for the MD3000i on

www.support.dell.com. To configure the iSCSI settings, go to the iSCSI tab in MDSM (Figure

15). To configure the host ports, select "Configure iSCSI Host Ports" (Figure 16). There are 2

Host Ports on each controller, and they are, by default, assigned IP addresses

192.168.130.101-102 and 192.168.131.101-102. The Advanced button will enable the user to

change settings for VLAN support, Ethernet priority, TCP listening port, and Ethernet Jumbo

frames. Enable Jumbo Frames and select 9000 for the Bytes/frame size.
