Modifying Storage Center Network Settings
The shared management IP, controller management interfaces, and iDRAC can be managed using Storage Manager.
NOTE: For user interface reference information, click Help.
Modify the Storage Center Network Settings
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.
About this task
NOTE: A single-controller Storage Center does not have a shared management IP address by default, but it can be congured to
facilitate a future transition to dual controllers.
