IP Addresses
An IP address is a 32-bit identifier for devices on a TCP/IP network. IP addresses allow devices on a network, such as servers,
switches, and arrays, to communicate with each other. HPE storage arrays use IP addresses for the following purposes:
Table 1: Types of IP addresses
IP Address
Purpose
Management
Typically defined on eth1 or on eth1 and eth2 interface, the management IP address provides access
to the management interface (GUI, CLI, or API) for the array group. It is also used for volume replication.
It resides on the group management subnet and floats across all management only (Mgmt only) and
management + data (Mgmt + Data) interfaces.
