Troubleshooting Management Port IP Addressing and Configuration

If problems persist, refer to the following table:

Table 5. Diagnosing Management Port Configuration Problems

Issue/Problem

What is the IP address

of the Ethernet

management port?

If you are using a network switch, verify that it is

powered on and Ethernet ports on both the network

switch and RAID controller are active. Also, make

sure the storage array enclosure is powered on.

If you have connectivity but are experiencing

reduced throughout, make sure your iSCSI port is not

connecting to the host server through a slower-than-

expected speed. For example, a 10Gb port can

connect using a 1Gb network switch, but the slower

switch will impact throughput.

Recommendation

The management port appears differently to DHCP and non-DHCP

servers:

DHCP server

(IPv4)

non-DHCP server

(IPv4)

All IPv6-enabled

configurations

On a network running DHCP server, IP

addresses for the Ethernet management ports

are assigned automatically

On a non-DHCP network server, the Ethernet

management ports will default to the following

IP addresses following a three-minute timeout

(from initial polling or connection attempt):

Controller 0:

192.168.128.101

Controller 1:

192.168.128.102

Subnet mask:

255.255.255.0

Each management port has a default link local

IP address that is based on the MAC address of

the port (unless IPv6 is specifically disabled on

a port).
