NOTE:

To use the DHCP feature, a DHCP server must be operational on the Ethernet network. If the DHCP

feature is used when there is not a DHCP server, the standard for DHCP requires the network storage router

to wait three minutes for a response from a DHCP server before timing out.

Some DHCP servers allow an extended lease reservation to be set up for an IP address by providing

the server with the Ethernet MAC address. The DHCP server always provides the same IP address to

the network storage router. This setup can be useful for remote management of the network storage

router via Telnet or VM. Because the method of setting up an extended lease reservation varies,

depending on the DHCP server being used. Contact the Network Administrator for assistance.

Active fabric configuration

The Active Fabric (AF) screen allows setup of a fibre target LUN for the network storage router (see

Number of Controller LUNs: (default: 1) sets the number of controller LUNs reported by the network

storage router. The number must be in the range of 0 through 4.

Controller LUNS in auto-assigned map go: settings are First or Last. Setting the choice to Last is

recommended. Setting the choice to First can cause issues with HP-UX. However, if working with an

OVMS host, it should be set to First.
