Obtaining IP values
NOTE:
For help with configuring your MSA2000 G2 product, also see the MSA2000 Software
Support/Documentation CD shipped with your product.
Setting management port IP addresses using DHCP
1.
Look in the DHCP server’s pool of leased addresses for two IP addresses assigned to “HP
StorageWorks MSA Storage.”
2.
Use the MSA Device Discovery Tool to discover “HP StorageWorks MSA2300i” storage devices on the
local LAN through SNMP.
If the MSA Device Discovery tool is not installed on your system, then install the program:
a. Insert the MSA2000 Software Support/Documentation CD into the computer’s CD drive.
b. When the dialog appears onscreen, double-click AUTORUN.exe.
c. From the dialog’s Tools tab, select MSA Device Discovery Tool.
d. Complete the installation.
3.
Use a ping broadcast to try to identify the device through the host’s ARP table.
If you do not have a DHCP server, you will need to ask your system administrator to allocate two IP
addresses and set them using the CLI during initial configuration (see
).
Setting management port IP addresses using the CLI
If you did not use the DHCP to set network port IP values, set them manually (default method) as described
below.
Network ports on controller module A and controller module B are configured with the following default
values:
•
Management Port IP Address: 10.0.0.2 (controller A), 10.0.0.3 (controller B)
•
IP Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
•
Gateway IP Address: 10.0.0.1
If the default IP addresses are not compatible with your network, you must set an IP address for each
management port using the command-line interface (CLI) embedded in each controller module. The CLI
enables you to access the system using RS-232 communication and terminal emulation software.
Use the CLI commands described in the steps below to set the IP address for the Network port on each
controller module.
Once new IP addresses are set, you can change them as needed using SMU. Be sure to change the IP
address via SMU before changing the network configuration.
NOTE:
Changing IP settings can cause management hosts to lose access to the storage system.
1.
From your network administrator, obtain an IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address for
controller A and controller B.
