Network

Use the Network panel to manage the management IP addresses for the system, service IP addresses for the nodes, and iSCSI and Fibre Channel configurations. The system must support Fibre Channel or Fibre Channel over Ethernet connections to your storage area network (SAN).

Management IP addresses
Management IP addresses can be defined for the system. The system supports one to four IP addresses. You can assign these addresses to two Ethernet ports and their backup ports. Multiple ports and IP addresses provide redundancy for the system in the event of connection interruptions.
Service IP addresses
The service IP addresses are used to access the service assistant tool, which you can use to complete service-related actions on the node. All nodes in the system have different service addresses. A node that is operating in service state does not operate as a member of the system.
Ethernet ports
Use the Ethernet ports panel to display and change how Ethernet ports on the system are being used.
iSCSI
From the iSCSI panel, you can configure settings for the system to attach to iSCSI-attached hosts.
Fibre Channel
Use the Fibre Channel panel to display the Fibre Channel connectivity between nodes, storage systems, and hosts. Fibre Channel options are only displayed if your system supports Fibre Channel or Fibre Channel over Ethernet connections to the storage area network (SAN).
Fibre Channel ports
You can use the Fibre Channel ports panel in addition to SAN fabric zoning to restrict node-to-node communication. You can specify specific ports to prevent communication between nodes in the local system or between nodes in a remote-copy partnership. This port specification is called Fibre Channel port masking.
