IBM TotalStorage DS4300 Fibre Channel Storage Subsystem: Installation, User's, and Maintenance Guide

Direct-management method

This method uses Ethernet connections from a management station to each
controller. You must install at least one management station. The management
station can be the host or a workstation on the Ethernet network. A management
station will have the client software installed. Attach Ethernet cables to each
management station (one pair per storage subsystem). You will connect the cables
to each controller later when you install the storage subsystem. Figure 69 shows
the direct management method.

Figure 69. Direct-managed storage subsystems
Use the Ethernet interface ports on the back of the storage subsystem to connect
the controllers for direct management of the storage subsystems.
Connect an Ethernet cable from the storage-management station to the Ethernet
port of the controller.
Connect a pair of Ethernet cables from the storage-management station to the
Ethernet ports for Controller A (located on the left) and Controller B (located on the
right) on the back of the storage subsystem. Figure 70 on page 85 shows the
location of the ports.
