Out-of-band management

In the out-of-band management method, data is separate from commands and events. Data travels through the host-to-controller interface, while commands and events travel through the management port Ethernet cables.

This management method lets you configure the maximum number of virtual disks that are supported by your operating system and host adapters.

A maximum of eight storage management stations can concurrently monitor an out-of-band managed storage array. This limit does not apply to systems that manage the storage array through the in-band management method.

When you use out-of-band management, you must set the network configuration for each RAID controller module’s management Ethernet port. This includes the Internet Protocol (IP) address, subnetwork mask (subnet mask), and gateway. If you are using a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, you can enable automatic network configuration, but if you are not using a DHCP server, you must enter the network configuration manually.

NOTE: RAID controller module network configurations can be assigned using a DHCP server with the default setting. However, if a DHCP server is not available for 150 seconds, the RAID controller modules assign static IP addresses.
  • For 60 disk arrays, the left-most ports labeled MGMT are used. The default the addresses assigned are 192.168.128.101 for controller 0 and 192.168.128.102 for controller 1.
  • For 12 or 24 disk arrays, the right-most ports labeled MGMT are used. The default the addresses assigned are 192.168.129.101 for controller 0 and 192.168.129.102 for controller 1.
