Figure 15: An example of advanced network configuration: management connections

Group Configuration
In this configuration:
• Management paths for all arrays are on the same subnet
• Data paths for all arrays are on the same subnet or subnets
• The group of arrays is assembled and managed through the array software
The next example shows network connections for arrays that are managed as a group. This example started with a
two-dedicated-network configuration, and then added a second array. It does not matter what the management and data
connections are, as long as all management paths are on the same subnet and all data paths are on the same subnet. If you
have multiple data subnets, be sure that each array has access to all of the data subnets.
Note that you must create the group using the array software. You can have up to four arrays in a group.
For instructions on how to create groups, refer to the GUI Administration Guide or the CLI Administration Guide.
