Setting Up Your iSCSI Storage Array
Step 1: Discover the Storage Array (Out-of-band management only)
Default Management Port Settings
By default, the storage array management ports will be set to DHCP configuration. If the controller(s) on
your storage array is unable to get IP configuration from a DHCP server, it will timeout after ten seconds
and fall back to a default static IP address. The default IP configuration is:
your storage array is unable to get IP configuration from a DHCP server, it will timeout after ten seconds
and fall back to a default static IP address. The default IP configuration is:
Controller 0: IP: 192.168.128.101 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Controller 1: IP: 192.168.128.102 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
NOTE:
No default gateway is set.
NOTE:
If DHCP is not used, initial configuration of the management station must be performed on the same
physical subnet as the storage array. Additionally, during initial configuration, at least one network adapter
must be configured on the same IP subnet as the storage array’s default management port (192.168.128.101 or
192.168.128.102). After initial configuration (management ports are configured using MD Storage Manager),
the management station’s IP address can be changed back to its previous settings.

This procedure applies to out-of-band management only. If you choose to set up in-band
management, you must complete this step and then refer to Step 8: (Optional) Set Up In-Band Management.
