Setting up networks for block storage

Prerequisites

A clear understanding of the concept Traffic types.

To create the network configuration for block storage

Admin panel

Go to Infrastructure > Networks and ensure that your infrastructure has a public network with the iSCSI traffic type.
If you plan to use RDMA over InfiniBand, move the traffic type Storage to a dedicated network and assign that network to the IB interface.
Configure network interfaces on the nodes that you plan to add to an iSCSI target group.

Command-line interface

Review your network configuration by using the following command:

# vinfra cluster network list -c id -c name -c traffic_types
