2.1.2.
Management IP Configuration Planning
With your network administrator, determine the IP addresses and network parameters you
plan to use with the storage system, and record the information on part 2, management port
setting in Table 2-1. You can manage the storage system through a dedicated management
port at least on controller 1. This port must share a same subnet with the host you use to
initialize the system. After initialization, any host on the same network and with a supported
browser can manage the system through the management port.
It is recommend to use a static IP address for the management port. Please prepare a
list of the static IP addresses, the subnet mask, and the default gateway.
DNS (Domain Name Service) server address provides a means to translate FQDN (Fully
Qualified Domain Name) to IP address. Some notification services need DNS setting.
For dual controller configurations, the management port IP address on controller 2 is
optional. If enabling the dual management ports setting, both management ports of
controller 1 and 2 have their own IP addresses, and both are active. Otherwise, only the
management port of master controller is active, the other one is standby. The
management port fails over to the slave controller when the master controller goes
offline even planned or unplanned.
2.1.3.
Notification Configuration Planning
On part 3, notification setting in Table 2-1, prepare to configure the notification. It’s helpful
for monitoring the system health.
SMTP server and email address to direct notification alerts the IT administrator and any
alternate or back-up personnel.
Syslog server address to log monitored events.
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) trap to send system event logs to SNMP
trap agent.
2.1.4.
iSCSI Configuration Planning
Although SAN is a private network environment, IP addresses of iSCSI data ports should be
planned, too. Optionally, CHAP security information, including CHAP username and
password should be prepared.
For an iSCSI dual-controller system, recommend to install an iSNS server on the same
storage area network. For better usage of failover, the host must logon the target twice
