Hello Pablo, You can setup the ports on the MD3000i in the same subnet.  We recommend that you don’t put all ports in the same vlan so that MPIO will failover properly and so that you won’t have a performance impact.so for your setup I would suggest 2 different subnets for each controller.  Now if I was setting this up in my network I would set it up like so : C0 P0 192.168.1.10, C0 P1 192.168.2.10, C1 P0 192.168.1.11, C1 P1 192.168.2.11.   Please let us know if you have any other questions.
Hi guys, I'm rethinking the topology of our SAN. We have: - 1 Dell PowerVault MD3000i SAN. - 2 Cisco switches (supported by Dell). - 2 Dell PowerEdge 710 servers. I'm looking to connect the MD3000i with the PowerEdge servers through the switches in order to provide redundancy if any ethernet port or switch fails. So... I want to configure the iSCSI ports as shown in the following table: C0 I0 = 192.168.1.10 (connected to switch 1) C0 I1 = 192.168.1.11 (connected to switch 2) C1 I0 = 192.168.1.12 (connected to switch 1) C1 I1 = 192.168.1.13 (connected to switch 2) Each switch will be configured as a non-stacked switched because I plan to use different IP addresses for each ethernet port. PowerEdge servers has 4 ethernet ports each one, but we only use 2 and 2. PowerEdge Server 1 - Port 1: 192.168.1.20 (connected to switch 1) PowerEdge Server 1 - Port 2: 192.168.1.21 (connected to switch 2) PowerEdge Server 2 - Port 1: 192.168.1.22 (connected to switch 1) PowerEdge Server 2 - Port2: 192.168.1.23 (connected to switch 2) At the iSCSI Initiator tool I will configure one target to two MCS (one connected to switch 1 and the other one to switch 2). I want to know if this configuration works as I need. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Pablo.
