Figure 18 Management module 1. Status LEDs 2. Ethernet jack 3. Reset button Connecting through a public network 1. Initialize the P63x0 EVA or P65x0 EVA storage system using HP P6000 Command View. 2. If it is currently connected, disconnect the public network LAN cable from the back of the management module in the controller enclosure. 3. Press and hold the recessed Reset button (3, Figure 18 (page 44)) for 4 to 5 seconds. The green LED on the management module (1, Figure 18 (page 44)) blinks to indicate the configuration reset has started. The reset may take up to 2 minutes to complete. When the reset is completed, the green LED turns solid. This sets IP addresses of 192.168.0.1/24 (IPv4) and fd50:f2eb:a8a::7/48 (IPv6). IMPORTANT: At initial setup, you cannot browse to the HP P6000 Control Panel until you perform this step. 4. Do one of the following: • Temporarily connect a LAN cable from a private network to the management module. • Temporarily connect a laptop computer directly to the management module using a LAN patch cable. 5. Browse to https://192.168.0.1:2373/ or https://[fd50:f2eb:a8a::7]:2373/ and log in as an HP EVA administrator. HP recommends that you either change or delete the default IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to avoid duplicate address detection issues on your network. The default user name is admin. No password is required during the initial setup. The HP P6000 Control Panel GUI appears. IMPORTANT: If you change the password for the administrator or user account for the HP P6000 Control Panel, be sure to record the new passwords since they cannot be cleared without resetting the management module. HP recommends that you change the default passwords. 6. Select Administrator Options > Configure Network Options. 7. Enter an IP address and other network settings that apply. NOTE: The reserved internal IP addresses are 10.253.251.230 through 10.253.251.249. 8. Click Save Changes. The IP address changes immediately, causing you to lose connectivity to the HP P6000 Control Panel. The new IP address is stored and remains in effect, even when the storage system is later shut down or restarted. IMPORTANT: The new IP address will be lost if the storage system is later uninitialized or the management module is reset. 44 P63x0/P65x0 EVA operation

Connecting through a public network

Initialize the P63x0 EVA or P65x0 EVA storage system using HP P6000 Command View.

If it is currently connected, disconnect the public network LAN cable from the back of the

management module in the controller enclosure.

Press and hold the recessed Reset button (3,

Figure 18 (page 44)

) for 4 to 5 seconds. The

green LED on the management module (1,

Figure 18 (page 44)

) blinks to indicate the

configuration reset has started. The reset may take up to 2 minutes to complete. When the

reset is completed, the green LED turns solid. This sets IP addresses of 192.168.0.1/24 (IPv4)

and fd50:f2eb:a8a::7/48 (IPv6).

IMPORTANT:

At initial setup, you cannot browse to the HP P6000 Control Panel until you

perform this step.

Do one of the following:

•

Temporarily connect a LAN cable from a private network to the management module.

•

Temporarily connect a laptop computer directly to the management module using a LAN

patch cable.

Browse to

https://192.168.0.1:2373/

https://[fd50:f2eb:a8a::7]:2373/

and log in as an HP EVA administrator. HP recommends that you either change or delete the

default IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to avoid duplicate address detection issues on your network.

The default user name is

admin

. No password is required during the initial setup. The HP

P6000 Control Panel GUI appears.

IMPORTANT:

If you change the password for the administrator or user account for the HP

P6000 Control Panel, be sure to record the new passwords since they cannot be cleared

without resetting the management module.

HP recommends that you change the default passwords.

Select

Administrator Options > Configure Network Options

Enter an IP address and other network settings that apply.

NOTE:

The reserved internal IP addresses are 10.253.251.230 through 10.253.251.249.

Click

Save Changes

. The IP address changes immediately, causing you to lose connectivity to

the HP P6000 Control Panel.

The new IP address is stored and remains in effect, even when the storage system is later shut

down or restarted.

IMPORTANT:

The new IP address will be lost if the storage system is later uninitialized or

the management module is reset.
