Setting the Array IP Address

You must specify the method by which an Internet Protocol (IP) address is supplied for the array. If you choose the Dynamic Host Control protocol (DHCP), the network provides an Internet Protocol (IP) address for the array each time the array is powered on and logs in to the network. Alternatively, you can choose a static IP address, which the array will use every time it is powered on and logs in to the network.


Note -

The web browser you use to manage the array relies on the array's IP address. If the address changes because either you changed it manually or the system was assigned a new one, the browser loses its connection to the array. You must reconnect to the array to continue monitoring and managing the array.


To set the IP address:

  1. Click Sun StorEdge 6130 Configuration Service.
  2. The Array Summary page is displayed.

  3. Click the array for which you want to set the IP address.
  4. The Volume Summary page for that array is displayed.

  5. Click Administration > Controllers.
  6. The Controller Summary page is displayed.

  7. Select Specify Network Configuration and enter an IP address, gateway address, and netmask for this array.
  8. Click OK.
