Create another Storage network in PowerStore Manager
Once you have configured and cabled the Top-of-Rack (ToR) switches to the nodes, you must create the Storage network in PowerStore Manager.
See the New Storage network resources for a list of:
- Network resources required to add a storage network
- Sample values that are used in the following steps.
- From PowerStore Manager go to and select the Storage tab.
- Select Create.
-
Enter the Storage network resources into the
Create Storage Network wizard and select
Next.
See New Storage network resources for sample values.
-
Select the checkbox next to the name of the first port over which the storage traffic runs for the Storage network.
PowerStore Manager automatically maps the Storage network to both the port you selected, and the corresponding port on the other node.
-
To validate the Storage network was successfully configured:
- Go to the Hardware page.
- Select the appliance name and go to the Ports page.
- Locate the port on which you created the Storage network in the Node-Module-Name column.
- The Link State should be green, and the Storage network should appear in the Mapped for Storage column.
- Locate the corresponding port on the other appliance node, to validate that the Link State is green, and the Storage network appears in the Mapped for Storage column.
