Example

Connecting to the management module (initial setup)

This topic addresses initially setting the EVA4400 storage system IP address and connecting to the

storage system

management module

. Once set up and connected, you can browse to the WOCP. See

also

Reestablishing the storage system IP address

.

Considerations

You cannot save changes in the management module configuration if the EVA4400 storage

system is not running or has not been initialized. See

Initialization and uninitialization

.

You can connect to the management module through a private or public network. See

Private and public networks

.

IMPORTANT:

HP recommends that you connect the management module through a private network, or configure

it behind a firewall or proxy server.

You will need to access the back of the storage system. The LAN cable to the management

module and the reset button are on the back of the controller enclosure. The LAN connection on

the management module is MDI-X compliant and supports straight-through or crossover Ethernet

cables (Cat 5e or better).

You must be logged in as an HP EVA administrator to complete the procedure.

The following procedures assume that the EVA4400 storage system has already been initialized using HP

SmartStart EVA Storage or HP Command View EVA.

Procedure when on a public network (initial setup)

Use this procedure when the management module is connected through a public network.
