54 Appendix—Manual Configuration of iSCSI
Step 1: Discover the Storage Array (Out-of-band
Management Only)
Default Management IPv4 Port Settings
By default, the storage array management ports are set to Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP). If the controller(s) on your storage array is
unable to get IP configuration from a DHCP server, it times out after
approximately three minutes and falls back to a default static IP address. The
default IP configuration is:
Controller 0: IP: 192.168.128.101 Subnet Mask:
255.255.255.0
Controller 1: IP: 192.168.128.102 Subnet Mask:
255.255.255.0
NOTE: No default gateway is set.
NOTE: If DHCP is not used, perform the initial configuration using the management
station on the same physical subnet as the storage array. Additionally, during initial
configuration, configure at least one network adapter on the same IP subnet as the
storage array’s default management port (192.168.128.101 or 192.168.128.102). After
initial configuration (management ports are configured using MD Storage
Manager), you can change the management station’s IP address back to its
previous settings.
Default Management IPv6 Port Settings
By default, the storage array management ports are enabled for IPv6 stateless
auto-configuration. The ports are automatically configured to respond to
their link local address and to a routable address if a configured IPv6 router is
present on the network. To know the link local addresses of the management
port, see the MAC label for the management port on the controller. For
example:
1
If the MAC Address is 00:08:74:AA:BB:CC, the link local address starts
with FE80::02.
2
Add the second and third bytes 08:74 MAC address to the prefix
FE80::0208:744.
3
Add FF:FE to obtain FE80::0200:08FF:FE.
