HP MSA 1050 User Manual page 34

Network ports on controller module A and controller module B are configured with the following factory-default IP settings:
• Management Port IP Address: 10.0.0.2 (controller A), 10.0.0.3 (controller B)
• IP Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
• Gateway IP Address: 10.0.0.1
If the default IP addresses are not compatible with your network, you must set an IP address for each network port using
the command-line interface.
Use the CLI commands described in the steps below to set the IP address for the network port on each controller module.
Once new IP addresses are set, you can change them as needed using the SMU.
NOTE: Changing IP settings can cause management hosts to lose access to the storage system.
1. From your network administrator, obtain an IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address for controller A, and
another for controller B.
Record these IP addresses so that you can specify them whenever you manage the controllers using the SMU or the CLI.
2. Use the provided USB cable to connect controller A to a USB port on a host computer. The USB mini 5 male
connector plugs into the CLI port as shown in
