5. Enter the settings for the management port. NOTE: • Port State must be Enabled (default) to use the SMU. If the management port state was disabled, you must use the Command Line Interface (CLI) to re-enable it. (For more information, see the Command Line Interface user guide.) • Assign a Host Name to the storage system (default: chassis serial number). HP recommends changing this to a more helpful user-defined value. • Port Name MA0 is the default management port. Although other ports can be configured as the primary management port, HP recommends configuring and using the default. • To control the path of management traffic to and from the array controller and to add one level of system security, HP recommends assigning a static IP address to the management port that is in a different LAN segment than the data ports. To assign a static IP address, expand the DHCP Setting drop-down box and change the setting to Disabled. The page expands (shown), showing the currently assigned IP address. Change this to the address you want to use for management traffic. After changing the IP address, you may need to re-connect to the SMU using the newly assigned IP address. • By default, VLAN ID is 0, meaning that traffic flowing from the port to the switch will be untagged. To assign a VLAN for this port to use, enter its value. VLANs are set up on the switch, and are used as one method of controlling access to the storage system. IMPORTANT: For dual-controller configurations, repeat these steps to configure the management port on the other controller. • The default management port for controller A is MA0. • The default management port for controller B is MB0. Configuring data ports Configuring each data port includes two steps: • Assigning one or more IP addresses to the port (Step 1). • Assigning one or more TCP portals to each IP address (Step 4). IMPORTANT: Configure all data ports you plan to use, including ports on the Ethernet iSCSI module associated with the controller in slot 2, if installed. HP Storage Management Utility user guide 35

Enter the settings for the management port.
NOTE:
•
Port State
must be
Enabled
(default) to use the SMU. If the management port state was
disabled, you must use the Command Line Interface (CLI) to re-enable it. (For more
information, see the Command Line Interface user guide.)
•
Assign a
Host Name
to the storage system (default: chassis serial number). HP
recommends changing this to a more helpful user-de
fi
ned value.
•
Port Name MA0
is the default management port. Although other ports can be
con
fi
gured as the primary management port, HP recommends con
fi
guring and using
the default.
•
To control the path of management traf
fi
c to and from the array controller and to
add one level of system security, HP recommends assigning a static IP address to the
management port that is in a different LAN segment than the data ports. To assign
a static IP address, expand the
DHCP Setting
drop-down box and change the setting
to
Disabled
. The page expands (shown), showing the currently assigned IP address.
Change this to the address you want to use for management traf

c. After changing the
IP address, you may need to re-connect to the SMU using the newly assigned IP address.
•
By default,
VLAN ID
is 0, meaning that traf

owing from the port to the switch will be
untagged. To assign a VLAN for this port to use, enter its value. VLANs are set up on
the switch, and are used as one method of controlling access to the storage system.
IMPORTANT:
For dual-controller con

gurations, repeat these steps to con

gure the management port on the other
controller.
•
The default management port for controller A is MA0.

Con

guring each data port includes two steps:
•
Assigning one or more IP addresses to the port (
Step 1
).
•

Step 4
).
IMPORTANT:
Con

with the controller in slot 2, if installed.
