6 Connecting to the management module
Overview
This chapter describes several optional procedures. Complete the procedures in this chapter if any
of the following situations apply. Otherwise, continue with
“Configuring servers using HP P6000
SmartStart” (page 29)
.
•
Run HP P6000 Command View from the management module, which eliminates the requirement
for a management server.
•
Change the default operating mode (via the HP P6000 Control Panel) for a direct connect
configuration.
•
Access the HP P6000 Control Panel to view array state and status information and edit basic
configuration settings. See the HP P6000 Control Panel user guide for more information.
The management module has an MDI-X port that supports straight-through or crossover Ethernet
cables. Use a Cat 5e or greater cable to connect the management module from its Ethernet jack
(1,
Figure 18 (page 25)
) to the management server.

Connecting to the management module
You can connect to the management module through a public or a private network.
NOTE:
To aggregate additional HP Command View servers into a SPoG (Single Pane of Glass)
when the servers reside on a different IP network from the SPoG web server, some additional
configuration settings may be needed. To configure the system if the HP Command View servers
reside on a different network and you would like them visible in the SPoG, see Discovery URI under
Discovery configuration settings in the HP Management Integration Framework Administrator Guide.
If you use a laptop to connect to the management module, configure the laptop to have an address
in the same IP range as the management module (for example
192.168.0.2
, with a subnet mask
of
255.255.255.0
).
Connecting through a public network
1.
Initialize the EVA4400 storage system, using HP P6000 SmartStart or HP P6000 Command
View.
2.
If it is currently connected, disconnect the public network LAN cable from the back of the
management module in the controller enclosure.
3.
Press and hold the recessed Reset button (3,
Figure 18 (page 25)
) for 4 to 5 seconds. If you
are running HP Command View EVA 9.3 or later, the green LED on the management module
(1,
Figure 18 (page 25)
) blinks to indicate the configuration reset has started. The reset may
take up to 2 minutes to complete. When the reset is completed, the green LED turns solid. This
