Setting a preferred IP address

You can configure SnapDrive for Windows to use a preferred IP address to properly resolve host names for storage systems having more than one IP address.

Steps

1. Under SnapDrive in the left MMC pane, select the instance of SnapDrive you want to manage. Then, select Disks.
2. Right-click Disks and select Properties from the menu.
3. In the Disks Properties window, click the Preferred Storage System IP Addresses tab.
4. Enter the storage system name and preferred IP address for that storage system in the spaces provided.
   Note: If you are using an iSCSI HBA in your storage system, do not set the IP address of the target HBA as the preferred IP address. Instead, use the IP address of the storage system’s management port.

5. Click Apply.
6. Repeat Step 3 and Step 4 for each storage system for which you want to set a preferred IP address.
7. Click OK.
