• Controller A port 1: 10.11.10.120
• Controller A port 2: 10.10.10.110
• Controller A port 3: 10.11.10.130
• Controller B port 0: 10.10.10.140
• C o n t r o l l e r B p o r t 1: 10 .11.10 .15 0
• Controller B port 2: 10.10.10.160

In addition to setting the port-specific options described above, you can view settings using the GUI.
• If using the SMC, in the System topic, select Action > Set Up Host Ports.
The Host Ports Settings panel opens, allowing you to access host connection settings.
• If using RAIDar, in the Configuration View panel, right-click the system and select Configuration >
System Settings > Host Interfaces.
The Configure Host Interface panel opens, allowing you to access host connection settings.
Connecting a management host on the network
The management host directly manages storage systems out-of-band over an Ethernet network.
1. Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the network port on each controller.
2. Connect the other end of each Ethernet cable to a network that your management host can access
(preferably on the same subnet).
Do not interconnect iSCSI and management Ethernet on the same network.
NOTE: Connections to this device must be made with shielded cables—grounded at both ends—with
metallic
RFI/EMI connector hoods, in order to maintain compliance with NEBS and FCC Rules and Regulations.

Connecting two storage systems to replicate volumes
AssuredRemote™ replication is a licensed feature for disaster recovery, providing access to either of the
following software product versions:
• SMC (v3) supports replication for virtual storage environments.
• RAIDar (v2) supports replication for linear storage environments.
IMPORTANT: These two replication models are mutually exclusive to one another. Choose the method that
applies to your storage system. For more information, see replication topics in the Storage Management
Guide.
The replication feature performs asynchronous replication of block-level data from a volume in a primary
system to a volume in a secondary system by creating an internal snapshot of the primary volume, and
copying the snapshot data to the secondary system via FC (linear storage only) or iSCSI links.
The two associated standard volumes form a replication set, and only the primary volume (source of data)
can be mapped for access by a server. Both systems must be licensed to use the replication feature, and
must be connected through switches to the same fabric or network (i.e., no direct attach). The server
accessing the replication set need only be connected to the primary system. If the primary system goes
offline, a connected server can access the replicated data from the secondary system.
