6 Connecting to the management module
Overview
This chapter describes several optional procedures. Complete the procedures in this chapter if any
of the following situations apply. Otherwise, continue with Chapter 7.
• Run HP Command View EVA from the management module, which eliminates the requirement for
a management server.
• Change the default operating mode (via the WOCP) for a direct connect configuration.
• Access the web-based operator control panel (WOCP) to view array state and status information
and edit basic configuration settings. See the WOCP user guide for more information.
The management module has an MDI-X port that supports straight-through or crossover Ethernet cables.
Use a Cat 5e or greater cable to connect the management module from its Ethernet jack (1, Figure
18) to the management server.
Connecting to the management module
You can connect to the management module through a public or a private network.
NOTE:
If you are using HP Command View EVA on the management server to manage the EVA4400, HP
recommends that when accessing HP Command View EVA on either the management server
(server-based management) or the management module (array-based management), you use the
same network. This is recommended until a multi-homed solution is available, which would allow the
management module access to be configured on a separate network (private or different).
If you use a laptop to connect to the management module, configure the laptop to have an address
in the same IP range as the management module (for example 192.168.0.2, with a subnet mask of
255.255.0.0).
Connecting through a public network
1. Initialize the EVA4400 storage system, using HP SmartStart EVA Storage or HP Command View
EVA.
2. If it is currently connected, disconnect the public network LAN cable from the back of the man-
agement module in the controller enclosure.
3. Press and hold the recessed Reset button (2, Figure 18) for 4 to 5 seconds. This sets an IP address
of 192.168.0.1. If you are running HP Command View EVA 9.3 or later on the management
module, the amber indicator on the top right corner of the Ethernet port (1, Figure 18) will flash
momentarily when the reset starts. When the reset is complete (approximately two minutes), the
green indicator on the top left corner of the Ethernet port stays on. If you are running an earlier
