You have an available Ethernet interface on the management host or you can temporarily reassign the IP address of an Ethernet interface on the management host.
Use this method if the following conditions are true:
Assigning a temporary IP address to a management host Ethernet interface in the same subnet as the default IP addresses of the controller's Ethernet ports (for example, IP address 192.168.128.100).
The two methods of establishing temporary IP connectivity are as follows: There are two methods by which to do that, depending on the method by which the management host and controller's Ethernet ports are physically connected to the Ethernet, and the availability of an Ethernet interface on the management host. In order to assign IP addresses to the controllers, you must establish temporary IP connectivity between the management host and Ethernet port 1 of each controller.

Ethernet port 1 of Controller B is assigned IP address 192.168.128.102.
Ethernet port 1 of Controller A is assigned IP address 192.168.128.101.
Sun array controllers are shipped with the following default IP addresses: In that case "Ethernet Port 1" applies to that single port. Note - Some array models, such as the Sun StorageTek 2500 Series, have only one Ethernet port on the controllers. Static IP addresses remain in effect until you modify or remove them. Use static IP addressing to assign a specific IP address to Ethernet port 1 of each array controller.

This appendix describes how to use Common Array Manager software to substitute a static IP address for the default internal IP address. The first two methods are documented in your array installation guide.
The Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager software for assigning static IP addresses.
The serial port for assigning static IP addresses.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), for assigning IP addresses dynamically.
There are three methods for adding the IP address: In order for there to be an out-of-band Ethernet connection between the local management host and the array controllers, the management host and the array controllers must have valid IP addresses.
