6 Managing the iSCSI or iSCSI/FCoE module using HP
P6000 Command View
This chapter provides instructions for configuring the iSCSI and the iSCSI/FCoE module management
ports, HP P6000 Command View discovery and host instantiation, the iSCSI IP ports, and the date
and time.
HP P6000 Command View management of a P6000 with the iSCSI or iSCSI/FCoE modules is
supported in-band through Fibre Channel, 1 Gbe or 10 Gbe iSCSI, Fibre Channel over Ethernet,
or through an Ethernet network using array-based management. HP P6000 Command View
management of the iSCSI modules and iSCSI/FCoE modules is only supported through an Ethernet
network.
Configuring the iSCSI and iSCSI/FCoE module management ports
Most management functions are available in HP P6000 Command View to simplify the two levels
of LUN mapping and LUN management. Access to the CLI for the iSCSI and iSCSI/FCoE modules
is needed for functions not related to LUN mapping or management. Although you can use both
HP P6000 Command View and the CLI for LUN mapping and LUN management, HP does not
recommend this practice. Direct use of the CLI to alter persistent data such as LUN presentations
can cause HP P6000 Command View operational problems due to persistent data synchronization.
HP P6000 Command View uses the 100 Mbps telnet management port connections of the iSCSI
and iSCSI/FCoE modules. There are three ways to connect to the CLI of each module.
RS232 serial port (1 15200 baud rate, 8 data, no parity, 1 stop bit); using a standard RJ-45
cable and the supplied 8-wire RJ-45 to female DB9 connector
Telnet (100Mbps)
Secure Shell (SSH)
NOTE:
The RS232 serial port can help with initial configuration of Ethernet addresses and can
also provide a monitoring port.
By default, the telnet management ports (6,
up to obtain DHCP addresses. To support HP P6000 Command View, HP recommends configuring
static IP addresses in a common class subnet for both modules of a P6000 array. Use of static IP
addresses avoids the possibility of DCHP-assigned IP addresses changing and simplifies controller
replacement when restoring a configuration. If the telnet management port cannot obtain a DHCP
address, controller 1's module will default to a static address of 192.168.0.76 port 2372, mask
255.255.255.1, and controller 2's module will default to 192.168.0.82 port 2372, mask
255.255.255.0. Alternately, use the RS232 serial port (5,
(page
35)) to configure static IP addresses for the telnet management ports.
