VNX File configuration worksheet
With your network administrator, determine the IP addresses and network parameters
you plan to use with the storage system, and record the information on the following
worksheet. You must have this information to set up and initialize the system.
You manage the storage system through a dedicated LAN port on each storage processor.
These ports must share a subnet with the host you use to initialize the system. After
initialization, any host on the same network and with a supported browser can manage
the system through the management ports.
Record network information for your system on the worksheets on the next pages. Your
network administrator should provide most of this information. For more information,
refer to your configuration planning guide.
