System Administration

To perform system administration, the Storage Center communicates with computers using the Ethernet
management (MGMT) port.
The Ethernet management port is used for Storage Center configuration, administration, and
management.
NOTE: The baseboard management controller (BMC) does not have a separate physical port on the
SCv2000/SCv2020. The BMC is accessed through the same Ethernet management port that is used
for Storage Center configuration, administration, and management.

The SCv2000/SCv2020 storage system ships with Dell Enterprise drives, two redundant power supply/
cooling fan modules, and either one storage controller or two redundant storage controllers.
Each storage controller contains the front-end, back-end, and management communication ports of the
storage system.
