Obtaining IP values
85
For IPv6, when Manual mode is enabled you can enter up to four static IP addresses for each controller. When Auto
is enabled, the following initial values are set and remain set until the system is able to contact a DHCPv6 and/or
SLAAC server for new addresses:
•
Controller A IP address: fd6e:23ce:fed3:19d1::1
•
Controller B IP address: fd6e:23ce:fed3:19d1::2
•
Gateway IP address: fd6e:23ce:fed3:19d1::3
CAUTION:
Changing IP settings can cause management hosts to lose access to the storage system after the
changes are applied in the confirmation step.
