Connecting to the xStack Storage Management Port
Connecting a PC to the xStack Storage management port lets you configure and manage the xStack
Storage Array. This procedure requires a PC with an installed NIC and an appropriately configured
Ethernet cable.
To connect the PC directly to the xStack Storage management port, use a cross-over cable.
To connect the PC to the xStack Storage Array using a hub or switch, use a straight-through
cable.
To connect to the xStack Storage management port, use the following procedure.
1.
Connect either end of an Ethernet cable to a NIC installed in the PC that will be used to manage and
monitor the xStack Storage unit.
2.
Connect the other end of the cable into the xStack Storage
Mgmt Ethernet
port. Facing the back of
the xStack Storage unit, the management port is the rightmost RJ-45 connector:
–
To view this port on the xStack DSN-2100, see Figure 2-7 on page 21.
If you want to configure the xStack Storage Array for email alert
notifications, be sure the management port can communicate via Ethernet
with your mail server.
xStack Storage management and data activities must be separate. This
means you cannot connect the same NIC to the management and host
network connection ports. Rather, one NIC must connect to the management
port and a different NIC, either in the same PC or a different PC, must
connect to the host network connection port(s).
