Figure 55 Figure 55 Controller Properties Dialog Box: IP Settings

Note: The IP Setting Tab is not shown if IP is not supported by the controller firmware.

All fields on this dialog support the Internet Protocol version 4. If an IP-configurable controller is not available in a slot,

the slot selections are not available. Modifying these slot fields may affect the ability of the Spheras Storage Director

Server to communicate with the controller.

If an IP configurable controller is discovered and an IP address has not yet been set for that controller, the status of the

controller is partially discovered. The IP address may or may not be seen in the slot field. When a controller is partially

discovered, no other controller properties dialogs are available. You must enter valid information in at least one of the

slot fields and click OK before the other dialogs are enabled. If communication fails, you must again try and enter valid

information in one of the slot fields.
