Description
Pick any name you want to assign your array. This will
be in addition to the serial number that comes with
the array.
Pick a name that fits with your infrastructure. This
name could match the location or organization that is
using the storage to help you identify the storage as
you manage it.
Computers need an IP address so they can communi-
cate with each other. These IP addresses need to be
routable to the internet but should be behind a firewall.
When your laptop communicates with the array to
make changes, what IP address should it use?
The netmask for the management subnet (ie.
255.255.248.0 for a /21 network)
The password for the administrator account
A subnet is a logical subdivision of a network. It is defined by the first IP
address in the network and a netmask that specifies a contiguous range of
IP addresses within that network. A subnet can be assigned to one or more
network interfaces.
It is recommended to have at least two data subnets but you may have four
or more.
A label for this subnet to identify it in the UI
An IP address for the data network
The netmask for the management subnet (ie.
255.255.224.0 for a /19 network)
An IP address used for iSCSI discovery
The IP address that HPE Support should use to help
resolve issues. You need two IP addresses, one for
each controller.
See description for Controller A diagnostic IP address.
Enter the domain name the array will be joining and
the DNS servers responsible for the domain.
