Video Transcription

Hello and welcome to lab number six
00:06
in this lab will be working with ice scuzzy storage.
00:11
So in order to configure I scuzzy storage, you need to add of'em colonel port Group
00:16
to one of your standard virtual switches.
00:19
And you also need to configure a nice cosy adapter.
00:24
You'll need your administrator password for the the central server,
00:29
the I P. Address that you'll assigned to this being Colonel Port. So, some new address in your network,
00:36
you need the default gateway.
00:38
You're SX. I host name
00:41
and the ice cosy Target name.
00:46
All right, So what? Started by
00:48
connecting to the center?
01:04
There we go.
01:10
Okay.
01:14
The first thing I need to do is select my host
01:19
and we'll go to the
01:22
alarms tab first.
01:23
I want to see what this little red diamond is on. My host
01:30
network uplink. Redundancy lost. Okay, that's fine. That's expected.
01:34
So we'll cover this later. But since I'm here,
01:38
I can acknowledge this alarm,
01:41
and then I can clear it if I don't want to look at it.
01:46
All right. Back to you. The configuration tab.
01:53
And we need to go to our networking link.
02:00
What we're going to do now is create another VM curl port.
02:05
So we'll click the add networking link.
02:10
And we have two choices. We can either create
02:14
switch for virtual machines to communicate,
02:16
which is a default choice or the VM Colonel Port.
02:20
And we can see this is for
02:23
yes, X I service is like these fair motion I scuzzy NFS
02:27
and host management.
02:30
We're gonna be configuring. I scuzzy will do NFS and our later lab.
02:35
Okay, so click next.
02:37
Now we can see that I've got one available interface
02:40
to attach this switch. I'm gonna go ahead and,
02:45
uh, click
02:46
switch zero.
02:52
You'll see I've got it selected here.
02:55
Or I could create a new switch
03:00
and use the second adapter that my host has.
03:05
So Well, then we'll make a new switch.
03:09
Now, we need to give this
03:12
switch a label for the network.
03:14
You want to be descriptive when you're picking a label? Don't,
03:16
uh, try not to use short abbreviated terms at some
03:23
a little bit easier to remember what you're doing when you pick a good name.
03:28
So we're gonna call this one I p storage.
03:31
We can pick of the land if we wish. If you want to keep this on a separate the land to separate it from the other network traffic. That's an idea.
03:40
And we can also designate whether this will be used for the emotion, fault, tolerance, logging or for management traffic.
03:49
We'll leave all those d selected for now.
03:54
Now we need to pick an I P address.
04:02
I'm gonna go with 0.1 50 for this
04:09
actually may be able to
04:12
Yeah, 1 50 is good.
04:18
Click. Next
04:21
you get your summary and could see that we've got our i p storage GM Colonel Port That'll get created
04:27
and we know which interfaces.
04:29
So once I finish, I can see the interface is configured for 1000
04:35
megabytes are getting more one gigabit a second.
04:39
Full duplex.
04:45
All right, so now we have the switch
04:46
that will use to attach to I scuzzy.
04:50
So our next task
04:54
I used to go to storage adapters.
05:00
And these are all the storage adapters that are built into the six port Satya controller that my host has.
05:11
I think 35 is the ones actually pointing to my local disc.
05:15
Talk a little bit more about that
05:17
later.
05:19
For now, we're going to add a storage it after us to go to the ad link,
05:26
and the default choice is software I scuzzy.
05:30
There's also a fibre channel over Ethernet Choice
05:34
tells me the adaptor will be added to the list
05:38
and then I can click properties to do the configuration. So there we have
05:43
V N H B A 37
05:46
shows the type of adapter and it's worldwide name.
05:51
All right, I'll go to properties.
05:58
All right, Now that I'm looking at my properties
06:01
on the general tab, I conceive the
06:03
the role by name.
06:06
I can say that the status is enabled.
06:12
If I had poor findings set up, you'll see those here. But what we need to do first
06:17
is go to dynamic discovery.
06:21
We'll click the add button
06:28
and your ice cosy server I p goes here.
06:33
Standard port is TCP 30 to 60 so we can leave that for now.
06:42
I click okay shows up as my server location
06:50
and I can click close.
06:54
So once I closed the interface, I have to re scan or the host has to re scan it's adapters
07:00
so that it combined the driver to the adapter and we can actually use it.
07:04
So we need to do a re skin
07:13
now that every scanned, I can see that I actually have
07:16
two devices. I have to
07:19
ice cause the paths or targets
07:24
that I can now use a storage. Each one has a capacity of five gigabytes.
07:29
You'll notice it gives me a name.
07:31
This naming convention should be very familiar to anyone that's worked with UNIX or Lennox Systems.
07:38
Got your controller
07:40
Target and London numbers.
07:43
So two targets, two lungs
07:46
and that's it. Now we are taxed. Joy are scuzzy storage
07:50
now that were attached to the storage. Let's go verify that the host actually can see it.
07:58
So we'll go back to the hardware area
08:00
and click the storage link.
08:03
And now you'll see that I have a nice, cosy data store
08:07
to go along with my local desk.
08:15
If I want to look at this day, story can right, click and browse it
08:22
and you'll notice that we've got a default file that gets created.
08:28
Keeps Earth Default folder. I should say that keeps track of some configuration data that the host needs when attached is dies because he storage.
08:39
All right, so that concludes the lab. Thank you
