Dell PowerStore PowerStore T and Q Networking Guide for Storage Services
Expand a Storage network
Expand a Storage network to run across multiple ports on a PowerStore T model appliance.
The following information is required to expand a Storage network.
NOTE:The sample network resources below can be used to expand the iSCSI storage network configured in
Configuring PowerStore storage networks with Dell PowerSwitch Series S148 Top-of-Rack switches on the two Dell PowerSwitch Series S4148 Top-of-Rack (ToR) switches. If the iSCSI network was not configured as described in this guide, then replace the sample resources with values matching the configured network.
| Network resource | Sample |
|---|---|
| Storage network name | iSCSI_Network |
| Purpose | Storage (iSCSi) |
| Node Port of the
PowerStore T model appliance
NOTE:The same port must be used on both nodes.
|
Port 1 of I/O Module 0 |
| ToR Switch 1 port to cable to the bottom node (A) | 6 |
| ToR Switch 2 port to cable to the bottom node (B) | 49 |
| VLAN ID of the Storage network being expanded | 200 |
| IP addresses
At least two IP addresses for each interface on which the storage network is being expanded. One IP address for Node A and the other for Node B |
192.168.2.13-14 |
Perform the following steps to configure an additional port and expand a Storage network that is previously configured on the PowerStore T model appliance.
