IP address allocation and usage
As you plan your installation, you must consider IP address requirements and service access for the
system.
IBM Storage Scale System 3500 uses 100GbE/200GbE/100Gb EDR/200Gb HDR network for
cluster communication and data transport. For IP port usage requirement, see IBM Storage Scale
Documentation.
For conguration and management, you must allocate an IP address to the system. This IP address is
referred to as the management IP address. The storage system also has a BMC IP address, which is
known as the service IP address. The addresses must be xed. Only IPv4 addresses are supported for
management and service.
