Hi ! I have an MSA 1510i with 2 controller and I want to setup the iSCSI params.
I found an step by step guide and my final configuration is working with 1 pc for the tests.
But I can't found some explanation about the number of portals / portal group needs for an correct setup.
My actual setup :
- 2 arrays with 1 target by array
- On each port (SA0,SA1,SB0,SB1) 2 IP Adress with 2 portals on each IP
- for the targets :
Target 1 : portal group "main" with 4 portals of SA0 and portal group "back" with 4 portals of SB0
Target 2 : portal group "main" with 4 portals of SA1 and portal group "back" with 4 portals of SB1
and for finish , 1 initiator allowed to all target (1 pc connected for the moment)
Planned use : HP C7000 with 10 BL460C G1 with ESXi (regardless of hardware setup of switch etc)
If I understand correctly the bases of iSCSI, I need 1 initiator by BL460C. But my setup (ports, portals groups etc) is good for the setup or I need to setup more portals / ip / portal group / anything else ?
Thanks a lot !
Kind regards
