Storage Array 17Adding Storage ArraysTo add a storage array to MD Storage Manager, click New in the ArraySelector area. A window is displayed that allows you to choose the automaticor manual process to add a new storage array.NOTE: Verify that your host or management station network configuration—including station IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway—is correct beforeadding a new storage array using the Automatic option.NOTE: For Linux, set the default gateway so that broadcast packets are sent to255.255.255.255. For Red Hat ® Enterprise Linux®, if no gateway exists on thenetwork, set the default gateway to the IP address of the NIC.NOTE: MD Storage Manager uses TCP/UDP port 2463 for communication to theMD Storage Array.Automatic Discovery of Storage ArraysThe Automatic Discovery process sends out a broadcast message across thelocal subnetwork (subnet) and adds any storage array that responds to themessage. The Automatic Discovery process finds both in-band and out-of-band storage arrays.Manual Addition of a Storage ArrayUse Manual Addition if the storage array resides outside of the local subnet.This process requires specific identification information to manually add astorage array:• To add a storage array that uses in-band management, specify the hostname or IP address of the host.When adding a storage array using in-band management with iSCSI, asession must first be established between the initiator on the host serverand the storage array. For more information, see "Configuring iSCSI" inthe Modular Disk 3000i Systems Installation Guide.The host agent must be restarted before in-band managementcommunication can be established. See "Starting or Restarting the Host-Agent Software in Windows" on page 28 or "Starting or Restarting theHost-Agent Software in Linux" on page 29.
