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.
