Step 1: Discover The Storage Array (Out-of-band Management Only)
Default Management Port Settings
By default, the storage array management ports are set to Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). If the controllers on your storage array are unable to get IP configuration from a DHCP server, it times out after 10 seconds and falls back to a default static IP address. The default IP configuration is:
Controller 0: IP: 192.168.128.101 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Controller 1: IP: 192.168.128.102 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
NOTE: No default gateway is set.
NOTE: If DHCP is not used, initial configuration using the management station must be performed on the same physical subnet as the storage array. Additionally, during initial configuration, at least one network adapter must be configured on the same IP subnet as the storage array’s default management port (192.168.128.101 or 192.168.128.102). After initial configuration (management ports are configured using PowerVault MD Storage Manager), the management station’s IP address can be changed back to its previous settings.
