• Gateway IP address: 0.0.0.0 CAUTION: Changing IP settings can cause management hosts to lose access to the storage system. To use DHCP to obtain IP values for network ports 1. Set IP address source to DHCP. 2. Click Next to continue. To set static IP values for network ports 1. Determine the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway values to use for each controller. 2. Set IP address source to manual. 3. Set the values for each controller. You must set a unique IP address for each network port. 4. Click Next to continue. Step 4: Enabling system-management services You can enable or disable management-interface services to limit the ways in which users and host-based management applications can access the storage system. Network management interfaces operate out-of-band and do not affect host I/O to the system. The network options are: • Web Browser Interface (WBI). The primary interface for managing the system. You can enable use of HTTP, of HTTPS for increased security, or both. • Command Line Interface (CLI). An advanced user interface for managing the system. You can enable use of Telnet, of SSH (secure shell) for increased security, or both. • Storage Management Initiative Spec. (SMIS). Used for remote management of the system through your network. The Storage Management Initiative Specification (SMI-S) is a Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA) standard that enables interoperable management for storage networks and storage devices. SMI-S replaces multiple disparate managed object models, protocols, and transports with a single object-oriented model for each type of component in a storage network. The specification was created by SNIA to standardize storage management solutions. SMI-S enables management applications to support storage devices from multiple vendors quickly and reliably because they are no longer proprietary. SMI-S detects and manages storage elements by type, not by vendor. For more information about SMI-S, see "Introduction to SMI-S for HP Systems Insight Manager" at http://h18006.www1.hp.com/storage/pdfs/introsmis.pdf. • File Transfer Protocol (FTP). A secondary interface for installing firmware updates, downloading logs, and installing a license. • Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). Used for remote monitoring of the system through your network. • Service Debug. Used for technical support only. In-band management interfaces operate through the data path and can slightly reduce I/O performance. The in-band option is: • In-band SES Capability. Used for in-band monitoring of system status based on SCSI Enclosure Services (SES) data. If a service is disabled, it continues to run but cannot be accessed. To allow specific users to access WBI, CLI, or FTP, see About user accounts on page 19. To change management interface settings 1. Enable the options that you want to use to manage the storage system, and disable the others. 2. Click Next to continue. 36 Configuring the system
