Configuring HP "Multifunction" NIC for iSCSI SAN

Question

I am about to implement a SAN here using a HP P2000; the SAN itself is on-order (ETA a couple of weeks) so in the meantime I'm getting the rest of the equipment up and running.

The SAN has dual-controllers and I'm going to multipath the whole setup. Here is what the plan is for the SAN to look like:

I'm got the switches installed and configured; they are dedicated switches with all ports in the default VLAN except 1 which connects to my management VLAN.

Tonight's task was to install the HP "Multifunction" NIC's in the 2 existing servers (Windows 2008R2) that will be connecting to the SAN - They are HP NC382T which I bought for: 1) Dual port to be able to connect to both fabrics (yes, the NIC itself becomes a single PoF but the server is only 1RU and I can't physically fit 2 additional NIC's in) 2) It has a ToE

All installed OK, but I can't figure out the addressing. In the HP NCU (Network Configuration Utility) I've enabled both ports as iSCSI devices and given them static addresses as per the image, but Windows doesn't "see" that configuration. The 2 ports are still listed as ethernet adaptors (as expected) but the IP configuration doesn't exist. Windows has given them autoconf addresses (169.254.x.x) and there are no routes for 192.168.101/24 or 192.168.102/24.

NCU configured as per the HP guide: http://bizsupport.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00577553/c00577553.pdf

So, am I doing the right thing? I suspect configuring the ethernet ports "as normal" using Windows means the ToE won't be used.

另外，SAN 端口（绿色的 A、B、C 和 D）应该作为什么寻址？我在想：A：192.168.101.1 B：192.168.102.1 C：192.168.101.2 D：192.168.102.2

Answer 1

每个网卡芯片（该卡只有一个芯片，每个芯片有两个以太网端口）充当四个独立的设备。操作系统将看到两个以太网网卡，每个端口一个。操作系统还将看到两个 iSCSI 块设备，每个端口一个，不会显示为网络适配器。如果你已经做到了，那么你就走在正确的道路上。

第一个旁注：获取 HP 的 SUM/PSP 并确保固件/驱动程序/管理已更新，否则您将陷入痛苦的境地，原始固件和驱动程序存在重大问题。

你的配置和我的基本相似。我正在运行一台 P2000、一对 ProCurve 2510G 交换机、带有 NC382i 的 HP DL380 服务器（集成 NIC，您有 -T，它是相同的 PCIe 版本）。此设置非常适合我的小型 Hyper-V 主机集群。

当您实际配置目标和所有内容时，它会变得有点棘手，因为一半配置在 BIOS 中（您一直使用的 HP NCU 工具配置相同），另一半在 Windows 和mpiocpl工具中iscsicpl。如果您从 iSCSI 启动，则必须在启动时使用 BIOS 工具进行更改，NCU 工具只允许进行有限的更改，例如不允许更改。

第二个旁注：确保 P2000 和硬盘驱动器的固件也已更新。类似的问题......我发誓惠普应该付钱给我帮助他们找到固件中的每个错误。
