Connecting a management host on the network

The management host directly manages storage systems out-of-band over an Ethernet network.

1. Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the network port on each controller.

2. Connect the other end of each Ethernet cable to a network that your management host can access (preferably on the

same subnet).

Do not interconnect iSCSI and management Ethernet on the same network.

NOTE: Connections to this device must be made with shielded cables—grounded at both ends—with metallic RFI/EMI

connector hoods, in order to maintain compliance with NEBS and FCC Rules and Regulations. See Product Regulatory

Compliance and Safety document.

After installing the hardware and powering on the storage system components for the first time, verify that the controller

modules, expansion modules, and disk drives are using the current firmware release.

Using the Storage Management Console, in the System topic, select Action > Update Firmware.

The Update Firmware panel opens. The Update Controller Module tab shows versions of firmware components currently

installed in each controller.

NOTE: The SMC provides an option for enabling or disabling Partner Firmware Update for the partner controller. To enable

or disable the setting, use the CLI set advanced-settings command, and set the partner-firmware-upgrade

parameter. See the CLI Reference Guide for more information about command parameter syntax.

Optionally, you can update firmware using FTP as described in the Storage Management Guide.

IMPORTANT: See the "Updating firmware" topic in the Storage Management Guide before performing a firmware

update. Partner Firmware Update (PFU) is enabled by default on 5005/4005 Series systems.
