Note:
Ensure that all network paths and client ports used for iSCSI support jumbo frames (MTU
9000). Confirm that all 7700 FSP Controller iSCSI ports have link status UP (as indicated by green
LEDs being lit) before configuring interface network settings and enabling HA.
1.
Connect iSCSI cables from the 7700 FSP Controllers to client network switches. 7700 FSP
Controller ports are listed using a slot number-port number format (shown in Figure 2.12).
For example, a slot number-port number of 2-0 reference means slot 2-port 0. After making the
connections, verify that the link state is UP (indicated by green LEDs being lit).
Note:
Any northbound port that has a status as Offline may cause HA setup to fail. After HA
is enabled, an HA takeover event can occur when
all
northbound target ports fail.
