Configuration 1: DroboPro/DroboElite connected to a switch
that is NOT directly connected to a network
Configuration 2: DroboPro/DroboElite connected to a switch
that is connected to a network
Configuration 3: Direct-connect to a computer
The following apply to all configurations:
Drobo Dashboard is required for iSCSI setup. Please install
Drobo Dashboard with the CD that came with your
DroboPro/DroboElite or from
www.drobo.com/support/updates
.
To get the best performance with your iSCSI connection, you
must use a Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000) network card. . A
Fast Ethernet (10/100) network card will provide poor iSCSI
performance. DroboPro has one iSCSI port and DroboElite has
two. Since DroboElite supports jumbo frames, make sure your
Gigabit Ethernet card supports modifying the MTU setting. On
the DroboElite, you can access the MTU setting in Drobo
Dashboard: Advanced Controls -> Tools -> Settings -> iSCSI
A standard Ethernet cable gives you the best iSCSI performance
with your DroboPro/DroboElite. One is included with DroboPro
and two are included in the original DroboElite package.
Ensure your firewall is configured to allow inbound and
outbound network connections for the Drobo Dashboard
application (iSCSI uses port 3260).
Windows XP 64-bit and Windows Server 2003 64-bit computers
should have .NET 2.0 (or later) framework installed in order to
connect to DroboPro/DroboElite.
An iSCSI initiator is required when connecting over Ethernet. On
Windows computers, we use Microsoft’s iSCSI initiator that is
included in Vista, Windows 7, Server 2008 and beyond. (If you
are running earlier versions, Drobo Dashboard will install the
Microsoft iSCSI initiator.) For Macs, we provide our own iSCSI
initiator, installed by the Drobo Dashboard installer. If you are
running Linux, please consult our website,
www.drobo.com/linux
for further information. ESX users can
use the iSCSI initiator provided by VMware. For more
information on Linux and ESX please visit the Data Robotics
support site at
www.drobo.com/support
