Obtaining Ip Values For Your Storage System; Correcting Enclosure Ids - HP AA988A - Modular Smart Array Storage Controller SCSI User Manual

When powering on the system, make sure to power up the enclosures and associated
data host in the following order:
1. Drive enclosures first
2. Controller enclosure next
3. Data hosts last (if they are powered down for maintenance purposes)

Obtaining IP Values for Your Storage System

To obtain the IP values for your system:
1. Look in the DCHP server's address for the two IP addresses assigned to an "HP
StorageWorks MSA2000 Family" storage device.
2. Use a network management utility to discover "HP StorageWorks MSA2000

If you do not have a DHCP server, you will need to obtain the IP addresses from
your network administrator, and set them using the CLI during initial configuration
(see "Setting Management Port IP Addresses Using the CLI" on page 42).

Correcting Enclosure IDs

been previously attached to some of the same enclosures and it attempts to preserve
the previous enclosure IDs if possible. To correct this condition, see "Correcting
Enclosure IDs" on page 55.
