Step
Task
1.
Locate Ethernet port 1 for Controller A and
Controller B at the back of the controller tray.
2.
Connect an Ethernet cable to Ethernet port 1 of
each controller.
3.
Connect the other end of each Ethernet cable
to the LAN on which your management host

Note: To configure in-band array management, see the
Installation Guide.
Step
Task
1.
Verify that data host OS requirements are met and that
host bus adapter (HBA) drivers and multipath software
are installed on the data hosts, as listed in the Sun Storage
6180 Array Release Notes.
2.
Locate the data host ports at the back of the controller
tray and install an SFP into the Channel 1 port for each
controller.
