After the Prod1 components have been successfully created, it is important to verify connectivity between the newly created IP Interfaces and the remote host IP addresses. This can be done using the “ping” utility in either Unisphere for PowerMax or Solutions Enabler.
Go to the iSCSI Dashboard and double-click “IP Interfaces.”
Highlight the first created Prod1 IP Interface (192.168.82.30) and then click the “Ping Remote IP” tab.
Enter the IP Address of the remote host (192.168.82.108) that is on the same network (.82) as the first IP interface and click “OK.”
Verify that the first IP Interface can ping the specified remote host IP Address then click “Close.”
Repeat previous ping steps for the second created Prod1 IP Interface (192.168.83.30). Highlight the second IP Interface and select the “Ping Remote IP” tab.
Enter in the second IP Address of the Remote host (192.168.83.108) that is on the same network (.83) as the second Prod1 IP Interface and press “OK.”
Verify that the second IP Interface can ping the remote host IP address, then click “Close.”
Verify connectivity between the Prod1 IP Interfaces and the remote host IP Addresses using the Solutions Enabler “symsan ping” command as follows:
PS C:\ >symsan -sid 0536 ping -SE 1F -network_id 10 -remote_ip 192.168.82.108

This section showed how to create a basic iSCSI port binding configuration on a PowerMax. In the example, this configuration is called the Prod1 environment. This section showed how to create iSCSI IP Interfaces and iSCSI targets using both Solutions Enabler and Unisphere for PowerMax. The targets were attached to the IP interfaces and brought online. Throughout the example, techniques were shown on how to examine the configuration at different points during the construction.
The next section will show how to create an iSCSI masking view and how to present the devices to a server or virtual machine running Windows Server 2016.
