Cabling for out-of-band management
This chapter provides examples of how to connect your storage array to an Ethernet network for out-
of-band storage array management. If you plan to use in-band storage array management, Ethernet
cabling might not be necessary for management connections.
For illustrations showing the Ethernet port locations on the specific controller-drive tray model that
you are installing, see the topics under
on page 22.
Attention:
Possible loss of data access – If you use out-of-band management, connect the
Ethernet ports on the controller-drive tray to a private network segment behind a firewall. If the
Ethernet connection is not protected by a firewall, your storage array might be at risk of being
accessed from outside of your network.
Direct out-of-band Ethernet topology
The following figure shows storage array management connections from a controller shelf or
controller-drive tray to an Ethernet network.
The following figure shows an example of direct out-of-band Ethernet topology.
