Preparation for Connection to the LAN for Operation Management
The IP addresses and the network devices that must be prepared before an ETERNUS DX Disk
storage system is connected to the LAN for operation management are explained for the
following examples of connection configurations.
Check the network environment and prepare the necessary items. The notification method and
network topology vary depending on the region in which the ETERNUS DX Disk storage system
is used.
■
For the EMEA&I region
•
IP addresses for the ETERNUS DX Disk storage system
MNT ports are used to connect to a LAN for operation management.
•
Network devices and cables
Network devices, such as LAN switches, must be prepared to connect an ETERNUS DX Disk
storage system to the LAN.
•
Each CM has an LED that lights up green to identify when it is the
Master CM.
•
Setting the IP address of the Slave CM ensures that ETERNUS Web
GUI or ETERNUS CLI can be used from the Slave CM if an error occurs
on the LAN path for the Master CM.
The Master CM and the Slave CM perform different functions. The
Slave CM can only switch the Master CM and display the status of the
ETERNUS DX Disk storage system.
The IP address of the Slave CM does not need to be set for normal
operation.

The IP address of the Slave CM is
used to switch the Master CM and
display the status of
the ETERNUS DX Disk storage system.
IMPORTANT
•
Do not use the RMT port. It is only used for maintenance work.
•
When specifying the IP address of the Slave CM, specify an IP
address that is in the same subnet but is different from the IP
address of the Master CM.
