How tos

I want to...

  • Configure management port
    The controller includes an Ethernet port used for system management. If necessary, you can change its transmission parameters and IP addresses.
  • Configure iSCSI ports
    If your controller includes an iSCSI host connection, you can configure the iSCSI port settings from the Hardware page or the System page.
  • Configure NVMe over RoCE ports
    If your controller includes a connection for NVMe over RoCE (RDMA over Converged Ethernet), you can configure the NVMe port settings from the Hardware page.
  • Configure NTP server addresses
    You can configure a connection to the Network Time Protocol (NTP) server so that the controller periodically queries the NTP server to update its internal time-of-day clock.
  • Configure DNS server addresses
    Domain Name System (DNS) is used to resolve fully qualified domain names for the controllers and a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server. The management ports on the storage array can support IPv4 or IPv6 protocols simultaneously.
  • View controller settings
    You can view information about a controller, such as the status of the host interfaces, drive interfaces, and management ports.
  • Allow remote login
    Remote login lets users from outside of the local area network start an SSH session and change settings on the controller.
  • Place controller online
    If a controller is in the offline state or in service mode, you can place it back online.
  • Place controller offline
    If you are instructed to do so, you can place a controller offline.
  • Place controller in service mode
    If you are instructed to do so, you can place a controller in service mode.
  • Reset (reboot) controller
    Some issues require a controller reset (reboot). You can reset the controller even if you don't have physical access to it.
