With this method, you can use the Storage Manager client software to manage the
storage subsystem directly over the network through each controller's Ethernet
connection. To manage a controller directly, you need:
v A Windows 2000 client computer connected to the local Ethernet network.
v Storage Manager client software. The Storage Manager client software package
v DHCP server connected to the local Ethernet network.
v One Ethernet cable for each storage-subsystem controller in the 5191 RAID
v Ethernet hub or switch.
To install and configure using the direct-managed method:
1. Install the SM client software on the Windows 2000 client computer (not Node A
2. Connect each storage-subsystem controller in the 5191 RAID Storage Controller
3. Start Storage Manager. The Enterprise Management window appears and a
If the subsystems do not appear, then the IP address assigned to each
storage-subsystem controller in the 5191 RAID Storage Controller must be identified
so it can be input into the Storage Manager Application. To identify the IP
addresses:
1. Record the Ethernet MAC addresses of each storage-subsystem controller in
2. On the DHCP server, locate the IP addresses (either two or four) that were
3. From the Storage Manager Enterprise Management window, select Edit → Add
The storage can now be managed using the external Ethernet connection
regardless of the state of the Node A and Node B engines.
