Setting up IP addresses for DS3950 storage controllers

After you install DS Storage Manager (as described in the DS Storage Manager
Installation and Support Guide for your host operating system), complete one of the
following procedures to set up IP addresses:
v "Steps for setting up the DHCP/BOOTP server and network"
v "Steps for assigning static TCP/IP addresses to the DS3950 controllers" on page
12
Steps for setting up the DHCP/BOOTP server and network: To complete this
procedure, you must have the following components:
v A DHCP or BOOTP server
v A network management station (NMS) for Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP) traps
v A host that is connected to a storage subsystem through a Fibre Channel I/O
path
v A management station that is connected by an Ethernet cable to the storage
subsystem controllers
Note: You can avoid DHCP/BOOTP server and network tasks either by using the
default controller IP addresses, or by assigning static IP addresses to the
controller, as described in the next section.
Complete the following steps to set up the DHCP/BOOTP server and network:
1. Get the MAC address from each controller blade.
2. Complete whichever of the following steps is applicable for your server:
v On a DHCP server, create a DHCP record for each of the MAC addresses. Set
the lease duration to the longest time possible.
v On a BOOTP server, edit the bootptab file to add in the entries that associate
the MAC address tab with the TCP/IP address.
3. Connect the DS3950 storage subsystem Ethernet ports to the network.
4. Turn on the DS3950 storage subsystem.
