Dell PowerStore PowerStore T and Q Networking Guide for Storage Services
Create another Storage network
PowerStore supports configuring up to 256 storage networks.
The following information is required to create a Storage network.
NOTE:The sample network resources below can be used on the two Dell PowerSwitch Series S4148 Top-of-Rack (ToR) switches configured for the NVMe/TCP network that is described in
Configuring PowerStore storage networks with Dell PowerSwitch Series S4148 Top-of-Rack switches. If the same network was not configured on the Dell PowerSwitch Series S4148 ToR switches described in this guide, replace the sample resources with values matching the configured network.
| Network resource | Sample |
|---|---|
| Storage network name | NVMe_Network2 |
| Purpose | Storage (NVMe/TCP) |
| Port on the PowerStore appliance
NOTE:The same port must be used on both nodes.
|
Port 1 on I/O Module 0 |
| ToR Switch 1 port to cable to the bottom node (A) | 6 |
| ToR Switch 1 port to cable to the bottom node (B) | 49 |
| VLAN ID | 210 |
| Netmask or Prefix Length | 24 |
| Gateway | 192.168.21.1 |
| Optional, Global IP Address | 192.168.21.70 |
| IP addresses
At least two IP addresses; one IP address for Node A iSCSI target and the other for Node B iSCSI target. |
192.168.21.71-72 |
Perform the following steps to configure an additional port on which to create another Storage network on the PowerStore T model appliance.
