Type the Network Addresses settings and click Next.
For Management and Discovery:
• Management IP address and subnet mask
• iSCSI discovery IP address and subnet mask
• Default gateway IP address
Note: If you chose two dedicated networks as your network topology, the GUI
requires you to specify different subnets for management and iSCSI discovery.
For Data:
• Port type – Not congured, Data only, or Management + Data
• Data IP address and subnet mask
• Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) – Standard, Jumbo, or Other
• Frame size in bytes – User specied value
Ensure that your network switches support the selected MTU size. The data port
IP addresses are assigned to interface pairs, such as eth5 on controller A and
eth5 on controller B. If one controller fails, the corresponding port on the remaining
controller still has data access. At least one interface pair must be congured.
However, a minimum of two is recommended.
Congure the array with the GUI.
