Step 8: (Optional) Set Up In-Band Management

Out-of-band management (see Step 1: Discover the Storage Array (Out-of-band Management Only) ) is the
recommended method for managing the storage array. However, to optionally set up in-band management, use the
steps shown below.
The default iSCSI host port IPv4 addresses are displayed below for reference:
Controller 0, Port 0: IP: 192.168.130.101 Controller 0, Port 1: IP:

192.168.131.101

Controller 0, Port 0: IP: 192.168.132.101 Controller 0, Port 1: IP:

192.168.133.101

Controller 1, Port 0: IP: 192.168.130.102 Controller 1, Port 1: IP:

192.168.131.102

Controller 1, Port 0: IP: 192.168.132.102 Controller 1, Port 1: IP:

192.168.133.102

NOTE: The management station you are using must be configured for network communication to the same IP
subnet as the PowerVault MD3260i host ports.
