7 Connecting to the management module Overview This chapter describes several optional procedures. Complete the procedures if any of the following situations apply. Otherwise, continue with "Configuring servers using HP P6000 SmartStart" (page 60). • Run HP P6000 Command View from the management module, which eliminates the requirement for a management server. • Change the host port default operating mode from the HP P6000 Control Panel for a direct connect configuration. • Access the HP P6000 Control Panel to view array state and status information and edit basic configuration settings. See the HP P6000 Control Panel user guide for more information. The management module has an MDI-X port that supports straight-through or crossover Ethernet cables.

NOTE: If you are using HP P6000 Command View on the management server to manage the P63x0/P65x0 EVAs, HP recommends that when accessing HP P6000 Command View on either the management server (server-based management) or the management module (array-based management), you use the same network. This is recommended until a multi-homed solution is available, which would allow the management module access to be configured on a separate network (private or different).

Overview
This chapter describes several optional procedures. Complete the procedures if any of the following
situations apply. Otherwise, continue with
“Configuring servers using HP P6000 SmartStart” (page
60)
.
•
Run HP P6000 Command View from the management module, which eliminates the requirement
for a management server.
•
Change the host port default operating mode from the HP P6000 Control Panel for a direct
connect configuration.
•
Access the HP P6000 Control Panel to view array state and status information and edit basic
configuration settings. See the HP P6000 Control Panel user guide for more information.
The management module has an MDI-X port that supports straight-through or crossover Ethernet
cables. Use a Cat5e or greater cable to connect the management module from its Ethernet jack
(2,

the management server (server-based management) or the management module (array-based
management), you use the same network. This is recommended until a multi-homed solution is
