Setting up a VPLEX Local implementation
CAUTION
If you are setting up a VPLEX Metro implementation, follow the tasks in “Setting
up a VPLEX Metro implementation” on page 46. You cannot set up each cluster
individually and then join them later.
Task 1: Set the
management
server’s public IP
address
Before you can log in to the VPLEX management server over the customer network,
you must set the address on the management server’s public Ethernet port:
Note: The tasks in this document use PuTTY for logging in to the management server.
However, you can use any similar Telnet/SSH client.
1. Connect your laptop to the management server as shown in Figure 20, using the
red service cable that hangs inside the EMC cabinet.
