Configuring the network settings

To configure your storage system you must connect it to a network.

Child Topics

Setting up IPv4/IPv6 communications

You should assign the SVP the same type of IP addresses (IPv4 or IPv6) as those used on the storage system. You must also configure the client computers with the same IP version that you assign to the SVP. In addition, use the same communication options for the management client and the SVP. If the SVP uses IPv6, you must configure the management clients to use IPv6 for communication.

If you use IPv6 to display the Device Manager - Storage Navigator main window when both IPv4 and IPv6 are available, IPv6 addresses are displayed in the Device Manager - Storage Navigator secondary window but IPv4 communication is actually used.

Parent Topic

Changing network communication settings
Use the following procedure to change the network settings on the management client for communicating with the SVP.

Procedure

  1. In the maintenance utility, click Administration to expand the Administration navigation pane.

  2. Click Network Settings.

  3. In the Network Settings window, click Set Up Network Settings.

    The Network Settings dialog box displays the current settings for the Mac address, IPv4 and IPv6 settings, and the network connection mode for controllers 1 and 2. It also displays the current settings for the maintenance port and the storage system internal network.

  4. Change the settings as needed.

    If you set items for DNS server, register the following items to the DNS server:
    • host name: localhost
    • IP address: 127.0.0.1

    If you set the protocol to both IPv4 and IPv6 and then switch only to IPv4 or IPv6, the Network Settings window displays settings for both IPv4 and IPv6. To verify the protocol settings, click Set Up Network Settings. The selected protocol is displayed in the dialog box, and the IP address of the invalid protocol is displayed in gray.
