How to use the RLM or BMC to manage Data ONTAP remotely

You can manage your storage system locally from an Ethernet connection by using any network interface. However, to manage your storage system remotely, the system should have a Remote LAN Module (RLM) or Baseboard Management Controller (BMC). These provide remote platform management capabilities, including remote access, monitoring, troubleshooting, and alerting features.

If your data center configuration has management traffic and data traffic on separate networks, you can configure the RLM or the BMC on the management network.

With the RLM, you can remotely access the storage system in the following ways:
With the BMC, you can access the storage system in the following ways:

For more information about the RLM and the BMC, see the Data ONTAP System Administration Guide for 7-Mode.
