Chapter 11. Configuring The Storage Subsystem For Out-Of-Band Management - IBM TotalStorage DS300 Hardware Installation And User's Manual

Chapter 11. Configuring the storage subsystem for
out-of-band management
You can manage the storage subsystem from the ServeRAID Manager program or
from the command-line interface. Both of these methods are supported by an
Ethernet (out-of-band) connection to the management port on the storage
subsystem controller.
After you connect the active management port to the network, you can configure
the Ethernet port connection in either of the following ways:
v Static IP address (default setting)
v DHCP assigned IP address
The factory-defined static IP address for the management port is 192.168.70.123,
the default subnet address is 255.255.0.0, and default host name is DS300 for the
DS300 storage subsystem or DS400 for the DS400 storage subsystem. The default
password for the storage subsystem is passw0rd (all lowercase letters with a zero,
not an O, in passw0rd).
If you have an accessible, active, and configured Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) server on the network, the host name, IP address, gateway
address, subnet mask, and Domain Name System (DNS) server IP address can be
set automatically.
If the IP address is assigned through a DHCP server, you will have to get the IP
address from your network administrator.
Note: The management station computer or any remote host that connects to the
management port must be on the same subnet as the storage subsystem
management port.
To change the storage subsystem management port network configuration, see the
command-line interface section of the DS300 and DS400 Software Installation
Guide for information about changing the storage subsystem setup and interfaces.
