Add a route to access the desired IP address
Adding a route doesn’t change the IP address of the unit; it simply maps a path to the unit’s existing IP
address. This method requires your workstation to be directly connected to the same Ethernet network that
the unit’s management port (
Net 0
or
MGMT
) is connected to.
To add a route to access the IP address of the unit’s RAID Controllers, you must have access to the
command line interface or a terminal window.
►
To add an IP address access route:
1. At the command prompt, enter the information according to your OS:
Windows:
route add 10.11.12.13 mask 255.255.255.255
<workstationIPaddress>
Linux:
/sbin/route add 10.11.12.13/32 gw
<workstationIPaddress>
Solaris:
route add 10.11.12.13 mask 255.255.255.255
<workstationIPaddress>
where
<workstationIPaddress>
is the IP address of the workstation you are using.
2. To add a path to the second controller, repeat step 1, but replace the first IP address with
10.11.12.14
.
Note
The IP addresses 10.11.12.13 and 10.11.12.14 are the system defaults.
