Connecting remote management hosts
The management host directly manages systems out-of-band over an Ethernet network.
1. Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the network management port on each MSA 1040 controller.
2. Connect the other end of each Ethernet cable to a network that your management host can access
(preferably on the same subnet).
NOTE: Connections to this device must be made with shielded cables—grounded at both ends—with
metallic RFI/EMI connector hoods, in order to maintain compliance with NEBS and FCC Rules and
Regulations.
Connecting two storage systems to replicate volumes
Remote Snap replication is a licensed disaster-recovery feature that performs asynchronous (batch)
replication of block-level data from a volume on a local (primary) storage system to a volume that can be
on the same system or a second, independent system. The second system can be located at the same site
as the first system, or at a different site.
The two associated standard volumes form a replication set, and only the primary volume (source of data)
can be mapped for access by a server. Both systems must be licensed to use Remote Snap, and must be
connected through switches to the same fabric or network (no direct attach). The server accessing the
