Network Setup

Certain network parameters must be changed to make the miSAN-V-Series visible on
your network.

1. Open the web browser on the computer to the default Management LAN port (“ETH

0”) IP address at 

http://192.168.1.1. A dialog box may appear asking for your

approval to load the Web Control Panel Java applet.

2. Approve the Java applet, and wait for it to load before proceeding further.

3. Select “Network Configuration” from “HSTC Options” on the main menu bar. On the

“Network Configuration” window, change the network parameters to those that
provide access over your network. The default values are shown in the figure to the
bottom right.

•

To configure the iSCSI Network ports, change the parameters for “ETH1” 

and

“ETH2”

•

To configure the Management LAN port, change the parameters for “ETH0”

4. Restore the previous network settings for the computer used to configure the miSAN-

V-Series to allow the computer to see and communicate with the miSAN-V-Series on
your network.

5. Remove the ethernet cable between the Administrative LAN interface port (ETH 0) on

the rear of the miSAN-V-Series and the network interface port on the rear of the
computer. Replace with a cable that is attached to the network.

6. Reload the Web Control Panel in the browser at the new miSAN-V-Series IP address

for the Management LAN port (“ETH0”) to verify the new configuration. After the Web
Control Panel loads, you may change the other miSAN-V-Series settings as desired,
as well as create virtual tapes and configure virtual devices. If necessary, the Web
Control panel may also be reached through the iSCSI ports.

iSCSI Communication

The iSCSI architecture is based on the client-server model, such that host computers are
clients, as initiators, and iSCSI devices are servers, as targets. Each iSCSI device, initia-
tor or target, must have a functioning network interface, with an IP address that is acces-
sible to other iSCSI devices. 

A target device should be set up first, so it will be able to respond when an initiator
attempts to discover the available iSCSI target devices.
