Network Planning
Before installing a storage system, network administrators must plan IP addresses and network parameters for the storage system.
Data Planning
Table 2-10 and Table 2-11 describe the default configuration and login information of the device management network ports. You can log in to the DeviceManager client to perform initial device configuration.
Default IPv4 Address |
Subnet Mask |
|---|---|
Controller A: 192.168.128.101 |
255.255.0.0 |
Controller B: 192.168.128.102 |
255.255.0.0 |
- IP addresses are allocated to management network ports through BMC arbitration. Controllers obtain IP addresses from the BMC.
- Management network ports use IPv4 addresses by default. If you want to use IPv6 addresses instead, log in to management network ports and complete required settings.
- Do not configure the IPv4 addresses of the management network ports within the same network segment as the internal heartbeat IP addresses. For a storage system with dual controllers, the default internal heartbeat IP addresses are 127.127.127.10 and 127.127.127.11. Internal heartbeat links are established between controllers for them to detect each other's working status. You do not need to separately connect cables. In addition, internal heartbeat IP addresses are configured before delivery, and cannot be modified.

Before initial configuration of the storage system, plan and take note of the IP addresses and network parameters for the storage system.
Table 2-12 and Table 2-13 list the IP addresses of management network ports.
