Configuring IP Addressing
In order for there to be an out-of-band Ethernet connection between the local
management host and the array controllers, the management host and the array
controllers must have valid IP addresses.
This chapter describes how to configure IP addressing on the local management host
and the array controllers. It contains the following sections:

“Configuring the IP Address of the Array Controllers” on page 74
About IP Addressing
The Sun StorageTek 2500 Series Array is managed out-of-band by way of a standard
Ethernet connection between the redundant array of independent disk (RAID)
controllers and your management host.
Perform the following procedures to ensure that the local management host and the
array controllers have valid IP addresses:
■
Configure IP addresses for the array controllers (see “Configuring the IP Address
of the Array Controllers” on page 74)
■
Configure an IP address for the management host (see the Sun StorageTek Common
Array Manager Software Installation Guide)
