Record
the
factory
default
eth1
address.
For
dual
‐
controller
Storage
Centers,
the
eth1
address
from
Controller
2
is
needed
during
the
setup
process.
Set Controller IP Addresses
Storage
Center
controllers
use
static
IP
addresses.
Configure
an
IP
address
for
the
management
interface
(eth0),
specify
one
or
more
DNS
servers,
and
set
the
domain
name
to
which
the
Storage
Center
belongs.
eth0
supports
system
login
and
access
for
the
software.
It
is
used
to
send
emails,
alerts,
SNMP
traps,
and
Phone
Home
data.
eth1
is
used
for
dedicated
Inter
‐
Process
Communication
(IPC)
between
controllers
in
a
dual
‐
controller
Storage
Center.
Because
eth1
is
directly
connected
to
the
other
controller,
no
default
gateway
is
required.
Do
not
change
the
eth1
address
unless
both
controllers
were
factory
configured
with
the
same
address
or
the
customer
requests
the
change.
The
eth1
address
cannot
reside
in
the
same
subnet
as
eth0.
Note:
To
facilitate
troubleshooting,
enable
logging
for
the
session.
Caution:
The
following
commands
are
for
new
installations
only.
Running
the
cs purge all
command
on
an
existing
Storage
Center
controller
deletes
the
existing
configuration
and
can
make
data
inaccessible.
Note:
Although
entered
in
decimal,
the
new
HSN
and
SSN
values
are
returned
in
hexadecimal.
