Obtaining IP Values for Your Storage System
Use the guidelines presented in this section when requesting or assigning IP values
for your storage system.
Ethernet Management Port
Use DHCP to obtain a different IP address for each Ethernet management port (one
each for controller A and controller B). If you do not have a DHCP server, you will
need to obtain the IP addresses from your network administrator, and set them using
the CLI during initial configuration (see “Setting Management Port IP Addresses
Using the CLI” on page 46).
To obtain the IP and gateway addresses for the Ethernet management port using
DHCP:
1. Look in the DCHP server’s address for the two IP addresses assigned to an “HP
StorageWorks MSA2000 Family” storage device.
2. Use a network management utility to discover “HP StorageWorks MSA2000
Family” storage devices on the local LAN through SNMP.
3. Use a ping broadcast to try to identify the device through the host’s ARP table.
Data Host Ethernet Port
From your network administrator, obtain an IP address for each data host Ethernet
port that will be used for iSCSI connectivity. You will use these IP addresses when
you configure data host ports (see “Configuring Data Host Ethernet Ports” on
page 52). Each Ethernet port on a data host should be assigned an IP address on a
different subnet.
iSCSI Host Ports
You will need to set IP and gateway addresses for each iSCSI host port on the
controller enclosure when you configure iSCSI Software Initiator settings (see
“Configuring the Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator” on page 53).
