7 Connecting to the management module
Overview
This chapter describes several optional procedures. Complete the procedures if any of the following
situations apply. Otherwise, continue with
52).
Run HP P6000 Command View from the management module, which eliminates the requirement
for a management server.
Change the host port default operating mode from the HP P6000 web-based operator control
panel (WOCP) for a direct connect configuration.
Access the HP P6000 WOCP to view array state and status information and edit basic
configuration settings. See the HP P6000 WOCP user guide for more information.
The management module has an MDI-X port that supports straight-through or crossover Ethernet
cables. Use a Cat5e or greater cable to connect the management module from its Ethernet jack

Connecting to the management module
You can connect to the management module through a public or a private network.
NOTE:
If you are using HP P6000 Command View on the management server to manage the
P6300/P6500 EVAs, HP recommends that when accessing HP P6000 Command View on either
the management server (server-based management) or the management module (array-based
management), you use the same network. This is recommended until a multi-homed solution is
available, which would allow the management module access to be configured on a separate
network (private or different).
If you use a laptop to connect to the management module, configure the laptop to have an address
in the same IP range as the management module (for example, 192.168.0.2 with a subnet mask
of 255.255.255.0).
Connecting through a public network
1.
Initialize the P6300 EVA or P6500 EVA storage system using HP P6000 Command View.
2.
If it is currently connected, disconnect the public network LAN cable from the back of the
management module in the controller enclosure.
3.
Press and hold the recessed Reset button (3,
green LED on the management module (1,
configuration reset has started. The reset may take up to 2 minutes to complete. When the
reset is completed, the green LED turns solid. This sets IP addresses of 192.168.0.1/24 (IPv4)
and fd50:f2eb:a8a::7/48 (IPv6).
