6.2 HP IBRIX 9000 Storage Network Best Practices Guide (TA768-96069, December 2012)

When correctly configured the following should work:
• FSNs should be able to ICMP ping all of the other network attached components, both on the
user/cluster subnet and the management subnet.
• File Clients should be able to ICMP ping the FSNs.
• The protocols listed in Table 3 (page 25) must work between the components, and should not
be blocked by intervening firewalls or routers.
IP address usage
In this configuration, the IBRIX 9730 requires the following IP addresses:

Because of the manner in which the OA dynamically assigns the addresses to the enclosure
components, all of the enclosure bays must have addresses assigned for potential management
components even if the bay will not be populated in the shipped configuration. The enclosure
management IP addresses are assigned when the enclosure is initially configured.
Customer use of VLANs or multiple user network VIFs may require additional IP addresses beyond
those specified in this table.
