4 Managing MPX200 iSCSI using HP P6000 Command
View
This chapter provides instructions for setting up the MPX200 management port, Fibre Channel
zoning, HP P6000 Command View discovery, setting up the iSCSI IP ports, and setting the date
and time.
NOTE: FCIP functionality is not configured using HP P6000 Command View. For configuration
requirements, see

Setting up the MPX200 management port

Most management functions have been built into HP P6000 Command View. In some cases, access
to the MPX200 CLI is required.
You connect to the CLI through one of the following:
RS-232 serial port (1 15200/8/n/1)
Telnet
SSH
By default, the management port obtains a DHCP address. If the management port cannot obtain
a DHCP address, you must set a static IP address.

Fibre Channel zoning

Because the MPX200 can be a fabric-connected device, it is important to understand the zoning
requirements.

Open zoning

When using an open zone configuration, each FC port on each MPX200 must be connected to a
separate fabric (see
