4.7 Configuring a COM Port to Connect to a
RAID Array
The RS-232 COM port on either controller module is used to configure and monitor
the RAID array. It can be connected to a VT100 terminal or terminal emulation
program, to a terminal server, or to the serial port of a server.
1. Use a null modem serial cable to connect the COM port of the RAID array to the
serial port on a host workstation.
A null modem serial cable is included in your package contents.
2. Set the serial port parameters on the workstation as follows:
■
38,400 baud
■
8 bit
■
1 stop bit
■
No parity
For platform-specific details, see the appendix that describes the operating system
your server uses.
4.8 Setting an IP Address
The controller Ethernet port offers interactive out-of-band management through two
interfaces:
■
The Sun StorEdge Configuration Service application. Refer to the Sun StorEdge
3000 Family Configuration Service User’s Guide for details.
■
The firmware application you access when you use the
telnet
command to
connect to the IP address of the controller.
To access the array using the Ethernet port, you must set up an IP address for the
controller. You can set the IP address by typing in values for the IP address itself, the
subnet mask, and the IP address of the gateway manually. If your network is using a
Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP) server or a Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server to automatically configure IP information for
devices on the network, you can specify the appropriate protocol instead of typing in
the information manually.
