Changing The Director's Ip Address; Securing The Rear Angle Brackets - HP StorageWorks Director 2/140 Installation Manual

• MAC address—The Media Access Control (MAC) address is programmed into FLASH memory
on the CTP card at the time of manufacture. The address is in xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx format, where xx
is a hexadecimal pair.
• IP address—The factory preset, default IP address is 10.1.1.10. If the Reset Configuration
option is selected from HAFM, the director resets to the default address of 10.1.1.10.
If multiple directors are installed on the same LAN, each director (and appliance) must use a
unique IP address. One director can use the factory-set address, but the addresses of the
remaining directors require change.
NOTE: If multiple directors and the HAFM appliance are delivered in an HP-supplied equipment
cabinet, all devices are configured with unique IP addresses that do not require change. The
addresses require change only if multiple equipment cabinets are LAN-connected.
• Subnet mask—The subnet mask is 255.0.0.0. If the director is installed on a complex public
LAN with one or more routers, the address may require change.
• Gateway address—The gateway address is 0.0.0.0. If the director is installed on a dedicated
LAN with no connection through a router, the address does not require change. If the director is
installed on a public LAN (corporate intranet), the gateway address must be changed to the
address of the corporate intranet's local router.
Verify the type of LAN installation with the customer's network administrator. If one director is
installed on a dedicated LAN, network addresses must be verified but do not require change.

Changing the director's IP address

If multiple directors are installed, or a public LAN segment is used, network addresses must be
changed to conform to the customer's LAN addressing scheme. The following items are required to
perform this task:
• A local workstation (desktop or notebook computer) with:
• Microsoft Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows 2003, Windows XP, Windows
Millennium Edition, or Windows NT 4.0 operating system
• RS-232 serial communication software (for example, ProComm Plus or HyperTerminal)
Note that the HAFM appliance may be used for this function and that HyperTerminal is included
in Windows 2000 provided in the HAFM appliance.
• An asynchronous RS-232 null modem cable (supplied with the Director 2/140)
Use the following steps to verify or change (if required) a director IP address, subnet mask, or
gateway address:
