Procedure when on a public network (initial setup)
Use this procedure when the HP P6000 EVA management module is connected through a public network.
IMPORTANT: When your LAN is part of a public network, HP recommends that you temporarily disconnect from the public network while performing this procedure.
1.If currently connected, disconnect the public network LAN cable from the back of the HP P6000 management module in the controller enclosure.
2.Press and hold the recessed Reset button for 4 to 5 seconds, then release it. This sets an IP address of 192.168.0.1/24 (IPv4) and fd50:f2eb:a8a::7/48 (IPv6) in private address space. The green indicator on the top left corner of the LAN connector (Ethernet jack) will flash during the reset, which may take up to 2 minutes. When the reset operation is completed, the green indicator light will turn solid green.
IMPORTANT: At initial setup, you cannot browse to the HP P6000 Control Panel until you perform this step.

3.Do one of the following:
•Temporarily connect a LAN cable from a private network to the HP P6000 management module.
•Temporarily connect a laptop computer directly to the HP P6000 management module using a LAN patch cable.
4.Browse to https://192.168.0.1:2373 (IPv4) or https://fd50:f2eb:a8a::7/48
(IPv6) and log in as a storage administrator. The default user name is admin. No password is required during the initial setup. The HP P6000 Control Panel GUI appears.
IMPORTANT: HP recommends that you change or delete the default IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to avoid duplicate address detection issues in your network.
HP recommends that you change the default passwords. If you change the password for the storage administrator or storage user account for the HP P6000 Control Panel, be sure to record the new passwords since they cannot be cleared without resetting the HP P6000 management module.
5.Select Administrator Options > Configure Network Options.
6.Enter a new IP address and other network settings that apply.
IMPORTANT: Restrictions apply. See Management module IP addresses.
7.Click Save Changes. The IP address changes immediately, causing you to lose connectivity to the HP P6000 Control Panel.
The new IP address is stored and remains in effect, even when the storage system is later shut down or restarted.
