Dell Storage Manager 2020 R1 Administrator's Guide

Modify the Storage Center Network Settings

In a dual-controller Storage Center, the shared management IP address is hosted by the leader under normal circumstances. If the leader fails, the peer takes over the management IP, allowing management access when the normal leader is down. An IPv6 management IP address can also be assigned.

Prerequisites

If the Storage Center is added to Dell Storage Manager using a host name, the new IP address must be added to the DNS A or AAAA record for the Storage Center to avoid connectivity issues.

About this task

NOTE:A single-controller Storage Center does not have a shared management IP address by default, but it can be configured to facilitate a future transition to dual controllers.

Steps

  1. If the Dell Storage Manager Client is connected to a Data Collector, select a Storage Center from the Storage view.
  2. In the Summary tab, click Edit Settings.
    The Edit Storage Center Settings dialog box opens.
  3. Click the Network tab.
  4. In the IP Settings area, type the IPv4 addresses for the management IP.
  5. (Optional) In the IP Settings area, type the IPv6 addresses for the management IP.
  6. (Optional) In the Network Information area, type the server addresses and domain name.
  7. Click OK.
