In a VSP Fx00 configuration, both the storage system and the SVP reside on the same
private network segment of your local-area network (LAN). The management console PC
used to administer the system must also reside on the same private network segment.
Physical SVP connectivity requires all of the following:
A static IP address for the SVP that is on the same network segment as the storage
■
system.
One Ethernet connection from each controller to separate LAN ports on the SVP.
■
One Ethernet connection to your network switch.
■
At least one management console PC on the same network segment as the SVP and
■
storage system.
Note: The SVP running Windows 10 operating system does not provide a way
to disable Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). If your network has BPDU enabled to
prevent loops, connect the user LAN port on controllers 1 and 2 to an
Ethernet switch instead of connecting them to SVP LAN 3 and LAN 4 ports.
Virtual SVP connectivity requires all of the following:
