Modify the Storage Center Shared Management IP Address(es)
In a dual-controller Storage Center, the shared management IP address is hosted by the leader under normal circumstances. If the
leader fails, the peer takes over the management IP, allowing management access when the normal leader is down.
An IPv6
management IP address can also be assigned.
Prerequisite
If the Storage Center is added to Storage Manager using a host name, the new IP address must be added to the DNS A or AAAA
record for the Storage Center to avoid connectivity issues.
