Figure 43 Storage System and Service Processor on Shared Segment (Shared Topology)
A shared topology requires:
A static IP address and system name for the storage system.
Two Ethernet connections from a switch or hub to the storage system controller nodes.
A static IP address for the SP.
One Ethernet connection from a switch or hub to the SP.
At least one management station on the network segment.
Private Network
With a private network topology, the storage system and the Service Processor (SP) sit on the same
private network segment on the customer local area network. All management workstations used
to administer the system must also sit on the same private network segment (Figure 44 (page 64)).
