Table 8-1. System Management Options (continued) Field Add LUNs Description Runs discovery of controllers, assigned LUNs, and allows you to add LUNs to the system. Managing the System You can perform management operations on the cluster using the NAS Manager. A NAS Management virtual IP address is required in order to access the NAS Manager. This IP address allows you to manage the cluster as a single entity. Additional IP addresses are required for the individual controllers in the system cluster. These IP addresses must not be accessed by clients directly. Managing Client Access The Subnets page enables you to set one or more virtual IP addresses through which clients access the system's shares and exports. If your network is routed, that is, some clients reside on a different subnet than the system, it is recommended to define more than one virtual IP address. You can define multiple subnets to allow clients to access PowerVault NX3500 directly, not through a router. Configure a single name on your DNS servers for each subnet, to enable loadbalancing between these IP addresses. NOTE: All the virtual IP addresses must be valid IP addresses on the networks allocated by the site system administrator. The Subnets page also lets you update the IP address ranges used internally by the system, for management and interconnect purposes. You can view the current configuration of the system subnets, add new subnet information and remove or modify existing subnets.
