Dell PowerVault ME5 Series Administrator's Guide
Host ports
Controller enclosures support FC, iSCSI, and SAS host interface protocols. FC and SAS controller host-port settings are not configurable in the PowerVault Manager.
iSCSI controller host-port settings should be configured, preferably, during onboarding, in order to enable the system to communicate with iSCSI hosts. This process includes choosing the systems iSCSI network configuration type (either IPv4 or IPv6), entering the IP address of at least one host port on each controller, and providing the netmask and gateway for assigned port IP addresses. When initial iSCSI configuration is complete, you can view and change host port settings.
CAUTION Changing host port settings while initiators are in use can disrupt host to LUN connections.
