HP P6000 manual Internet Protocol configurations, Management module

More information on initialization and uninitialization is in the HP P6000 Command View User Guide. See related information.

Internet Protocol configurations

•IP addresses on the Detailed Network Options page are specified using standard IPv4 or IPv6 formats.

•IP addresses on the Configure Client Filter for HP P6000 Command View page can be specified using standard IPv4 and IPv6 formats and CIDR formats.

IP address formats

Format and example IPv4

192.168.1.1

IPv4 with CIDR notation 192.168.1.1/24

Remarks

IPv4 IP address are generally shown in decimal notation, separated by dots (periods).

IPv6

2001:0DB8:0000:0000:0000:0000:1428:57AB

IPv6 with compressed notation 2001:DB8::1428:57AB

IPv6 with CIDR notation 2001:DB8::1428:57AB/9

IPv6 IP addresses are generally shown in eight groups of four hexadecimal digits, separated by colons.

Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) specifies an IP address range using a combination of an IP address and a value indicating the number of 1-bits that start a mask (similar to a subnet mask), for example xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/n (IPv4) or xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx/n (IPv6). For an IP address to be included in a CIDR notated address range, the n leftmost 1-bits in the given IP address must match the n leftmost 1-bits in the IP Address portion of the CIDR notated address.

Management module

HP P6000 EVA storage systems with array-based management contain a hardware component called the management module. The module includes an RJ45 jack for connecting the storage system to your LAN (Ethernet network). It also includes the software that runs the HP P6000 Control Panel.

The HP P6000 management module provides access to service data via the HP P6000 Control Panel and is always active, even when the controller enclosure is in standby mode.

Management module reset button

The Reset button on the HP P6000 management module performs the following functions:

•Sets the IP address for the storage system. See Reestablishing the storage system IP address.

•Sets the logon credentials (user name, password) for both the HP P6000 Control Panel and array-based HP P6000 Command View to their default values:

admin, blank (no password) user, blank (no password)

•Disables the HP P6000 Command View client filter list. See Configuring access to HP P6000 Command View.
