Complete the
Network Configuration
screen(s):
•
Hostname
: The host name (in the example,
Bond0
) can include alphanumeric characters
and the hyphen (
–
) special character. It is a best practice to use only lowercase characters
in host names; uppercase characters can cause issues with the HP StoreAll OS Software.
Do not use an underscore (
_
) in the host name.
•
IP Address
: The IP address is the address of the server on
Bond0
.
•
Netmask
: The netmask (a 32-bit mask) divides an IP address into subnets and specifies
the available network hosts. This field is auto-filled with
255.255.0.0
, but the netmask
entry may need to be modified, based on your specific network subnets.
•
Default Gateway
: The default gateway provides a route between networks. If your default
gateway is on a different subnet than
Bond0
, skip this field.
Later in this procedure, you can select either web UI or ASCII mode to complete the
installation. A gateway address is required to use the web UI.
•
VLAN Tag ID
: VLAN capabilities provide hardware support for running multiple logical
networks over the same physical networking hardware. HP StoreAll supports the ability
to associate a VLAN tag with an FSN interface. For more information, see the HP StoreAll
Storage Network Best Practices Guide.
•
F2 (function key)
: If you pressed
F2
in
Step 5
, you can toggle between the default
Network
Configuration
screen and the
Advanced Configuration
screen. Use the
Network
Configuration
screen to change default parameters; and use the
Advanced Configuration
screen to modify parameters, such as slaves, bond options, the network role of any bond,
and so forth.

If you press
F2
, enter the number of networks on the
Get Total Networks
screen, and then
