ISCSI lun mapping to XenServer 6.0.2

Question

Folks,

We are trying to map 1 TB of ISCSI lun to Dell MD 710 HD via 10Gb nic. We are facing challenge with mapping these . Can someone tell us the complete procedure of mapping these lun?

SAN engineer told me that he has to manually map the lun where as I told, I will login these initiator and then you need to edit and provide the host name. Also SAN engineer told me that MTU size should be set to 9000 . Is there some thing avilable which I can refer? Citrix site has old document .

Thanks,

Did you load Unisphere agent on the host ? Take a look at this thread , in last reply Glen provides EMC primus solutions that have to do with iSCSI best practices

Mate is there agent for XenServer or we can use linux agent? Is it free or licensed version? One of the tread mention https://community.emc.com/message/443091 that 192.168.x.x can not be used as ISCSI IP address either for managment or for ISCSI traffic ?

Thanks,

Vikash

sorry, no agent for Xen ..have to manually register. Yes you do not want to use 192.168.x network ..see emc66569 why

Take a look at this guide as well
