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
.
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 (reestablishing the IP address)
Use this procedure when the management module is connected through a public network.
IMPORTANT:
When your LAN is part of a public network, HP recommends that you temporarily disconnect from the
public network while performing this procedure.
1.
If currently connected, disconnect the public network LAN cable from the back of the management
module in the controller enclosure.
2.
Press and hold the recessed Reset button for 4 to 5 seconds then release it. This sets an IP address
of 192.168.0.1 in private address space. The amber indicator on the top right corner of the LAN
connector (Ethernet jack) will flash momentarily when the reset operation is completed.
IMPORTANT:
If the IP address saved in memory has been lost, you cannot browse to the WOCP until you perform
this step.
1. LAN connector
2. Reset button 3. Management module
3.
Do one of the following:
• Temporarily connect a LAN cable from a private network to the management module.
• Temporarily connect a laptop computer directly to the management module using a LAN
patch cable.
