Configuring the management ports

Adding a storage array to SANtricity Storage Manager
You must add the StorageGRID Webscale appliance to SANtricity Storage Manager using the IP address of the E2700 controller. You can then use SANtricity Storage Manager to manage the hardware components and the controller firmware.

Configuring the E2700 controller management port
You can use SANtricity Storage Manager on the service laptop to set the IP address for the E2700 controller management port. If you accessed the E2700 controller using an IP address obtained using DHCP, you must follow these steps to set a static IP address.

Verifying initial connectivity
You should verify the connectivity from the appliance management port on the E2700 controller and the E5600SG controller to ensure that they are working and that both controllers have valid IP addresses.

Configuring the E5600SG controller management port
You can configure the E5600SG controller management port using a web browser on the service laptop. This enables connectivity to the controller. Additionally, you should enter the subnet mask for the network and at least a default gateway.
