Note: Make sure that you start the storage-management software to continuously
monitor the status of the storage subsystem. For information about the
importance of this information, see "Monitoring status through software" on
page 96.
After you install DS4000 Storage Manager (as described in the DS4000 Storage
Manager Installation and Support Guide for your host operating system), complete
one of the following procedures to set up IP addresses:
v "Steps for setting up the DHCP/BOOTP server and network"
v "Steps for assigning static TCP/IP addresses to the DS4000 controllers"
To complete this procedure, you must have the following components:
v A DHCP or BOOTP server
v A network management station (NMS) for Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP) traps
v A host that is connected to a storage subsystem through a fibre-channel I/O path
v A management station that is connected by an Ethernet cable to the storage
subsystem controllers
Note: You can avoid DHCP/BOOTP server and network tasks either by using the
default controller IP addresses, or by assigning static IP addresses to the
controller, as described in the next section.
Complete the following steps to set up the DHCP/BOOTP server and network:
1. Get the MAC address from each controller blade.
2. Complete whichever of the following steps is appropriate for your server:
v On a DHCP server, create a DHCP record for each of the MAC addresses.
Set the lease duration to the longest time possible.
v On a BOOTP server, edit the bootptab file to add in the entries that associate
the MAC address tab with the TCP/IP address.
3. Connect the DS4000 storage subsystem Ethernet ports to the network.
4. Boot the DS4000 storage subsystem.
The DHCP server automatically assigns new IP addresses to the controller Ethernet
port.
To complete this procedure, you must have the following components:
v A host that is connected to a storage subsystem through a fibre-channel I/O path
v A management station that is connected by an Ethernet cable to the storage
subsystem controllers
Complete the following steps to assign static TCP/IP addresses to the DS4000
storage subsystem controllers, using default TCP/IP addresses that are assigned to
the DS4000 storage subsystem controllers during manufacturing:
1. Make a direct management connection to the DS4000 storage subsystem, using
the default TCP/IP addresses:
v Controller A: 192.168.128.101
