HPE StoreVirtual 3200

Controller network connections
The following table shows the number of Ethernet and Fibre Channel (FC) connections that are available
on each storage controller. Each StoreVirtual 3200 Storage has two controllers, resulting in twice as many
ports as listed in the table.
The management port is connected to an internal Ethernet switch, which is connected to the internal
Ethernet switch on the other controller through the backplane. If the MGMT port is used to manage the
storage system, then to ensure high availability in the event of a network path failure, the MGMT port on
both controllers must be connected to the same subnet.
Depending on the system and the configuration, some Ethernet network interfaces might not be used, as
shown in the table.

Network cabling configurations
The following network cabling configurations are valid for the Configuration Setup procedure. Before
beginning the Configuration Setup procedure, ensure that you have completed the cabling for your
system as described in the following sections. Also ensure that you have the required IP addresses
available. The Configuration Setup procedure allows data and management traffic on the same subnet
only.
Connecting the StoreVirtual 3000 Storage system to the network
The array enclosure can be connected to a network in different ways depending on the desired network
configuration and the controller modules.
