Controller with a 10GBase-T card
1. Option card 10GBase-T ports
2. Built-in 1G ports
The 10GBase-T ports are bonded and share a subnet mask. The built-in 1G ports are not bonded. The
10GBase-T and built-in 1G ports cannot be used simultaneously.
Controller with a Fibre Channel card
1. Option card Fibre Channel ports
2. Built-in 1G ports
The built-in 1G ports are bonded and share a subnet mask. Fibre Channel ports do not require IP addresses,
so no bonding is necessary.
Multipathing with iSCSI configurations
The system can use either a OS-level multipathing driver or a driver provided by a vendor such as a Windows
multipath driver (DSM) or a VMware multipath driver (MEM).
The iSCSI configuration uses MLTP which provides multiple LUNs on a single target.
iSCSI multipathing with DSM or MEM
•
Access the SVMC to configure StoreVirtual networking. See the StoreVirtual Management Console Online
Help for more information.
•
Requires installation of a a vendor-supplied multipathing driver
•
Each controller has a pair of physical network interfaces that are bonded together.
•
Two IP addresses are assigned to the bond for optimal performance.
