Remove Ports from an iSCSI Fault Domain

To repurpose front-end iSCSI ports, remove the ports from the fault domain.

About this task

  • If the front-end ports are configured for virtual port mode, the storage system must be running Storage Center 7.5.1 or later to remove all ports from a fault domain.
  • If the front-end ports are configured for virtual port mode, but the storage system is running a version of Storage Center earlier than Storage Center 7.5.1, an error occurs if the port being removed is the last port in the fault domain.
  • If front-end ports are configured for legacy mode, all the ports in a fault domain can be removed from a storage system running any supported version Storage Center.
NOTE:You cannot remove the last port in the fault domain for an SCv2000 Series or SCv3000 Series system.

Steps

  1. If the Dell Storage Manager Client is connected to a Data Collector, select a Storage Center from the Storage view.
  2. Click the Storage tab.
  3. In the Storage tab navigation pane, expand Fault Domains, expand iSCSI, and select a fault domain.
  4. If you are using an SCv2000 Series or SCv3000 Series storage system, click Edit Settings, clear the check boxes of the ports to remove from the fault domain, and click OK.
    Otherwise, perform the following steps to remove ports from a fault domain:
    1. Click Edit Settings.
    2. In the Ports area, click Remove Ports from Fault Domain.
    3. In the Remove Ports from Fault Domain dialog box, select the ports to remove from the fault domain.
    4. Click OK to remove the selected ports from the fault domain.
    5. Click OK to close the Edit Fault Domain Settings dialog box.
