HP XP7 Command View Advanced Edition Administrator Guide (Web Version) (TK981-96004, May 2014)

Security configuration recommended for Device Manager
The computer hosting Device Manager server must either be dual-homed or have two NICs, and every
other management application must be of a similar configuration. The first NIC for each computer is
attached to a LAN dedicated to manage traffic between the management computer and managed
storage systems. A second NIC is attached to a LAN where access is governed by a firewall. As
shown in Figure 2, each application server could also be connected to a different LAN that has a
different firewall. The firewall contains strict access rules that allow the management servers to be
accessed only by Device Manager clients or by specified management application clients.
CAUTION:
If you use Remote Web Console to operate any of the following storage systems from the Device
Manager GUI, Java Web Start and the browser on the management client directly communicate with
the storage system: HP XP7, P9500, XP24000/XP20000, XP12000/XP10000/SVS200, and
XP1024/XP128.
For this reason, if the storage system and the management client are on different networks, you must
set up the networks so that the storage system and the management client can communicate directly
with each other.
