IMPORTANT: At initial setup, you cannot browse to the HP P6000 Control Panel until you
perform this step.
4. Do one of the following:
a. Temporarily connect a LAN cable from a private network to the management module.
b. Temporarily connect a laptop computer to the management module using a LAN patch
cable.
5. Browse to https://192.168.0.1:2373 or https://[fd50:f2eb:a8a::7]:2373/
and log in as an HP EVA administrator. HP recommends that you either change or delete the
default IPv4 or IPv6 addresses to avoid duplicate address detection issues on your network.
The default user name is admin. No password is required during the initial setup.
The HP P6000 control panel GUI appears.
NOTE:
• If you are running a version of management module software earlier than 0001.1000
(which corresponds to XCS 09004000 or earlier), use port 2372.
• If you change the password for the administrator or user account for the HP P6000 Control
Panel, be sure to record the new passwords since they cannot be cleared without resetting
the management module. HP recommends that you change the default passwords.
6. Select Administrator Options > Configure Network Options.
7. Enter an IP address and other network settings that apply.
NOTE: The management module firmware reserves IP addresses for internal communications.
If you are using HP Command View EVA 9.2 or earlier, the reserved IP addresses are 10.0.0.1
through 10.0.0.3. Later versions of the management module firmware will also use these
addresses if the array has older controller firmware loaded. The latest versions of controller
and management module firmware, however, use the reserved IP address range from
10.253.251.230 through 10.253.251.249. The management module cannot be configured
to use these addresses, nor can it communicate with external systems that fall within the reserved
address range (for example, web client, router, DNS server, and so on).
8. Click Save Changes.
The IP address changes immediately, causing you to lose connectivity to the HP P6000 Control
Panel.
The new IP address is stored and remains in effect, even when the storage system is shut down
or restarted.
NOTE: If you uninitialize the storage system, wait one minute before reinitializing or you
may lose the IP address.
9. Remove the LAN cable to the private network and reconnect the cable to the public network.
10. From a computer on the public network, browse to https://newly configured ip
address:2373 and log in.
The HP P6000 control panel GUI appears.

1. Press and hold the recessed Reset button (3, Figure 23 (page 34)) for 4–5 seconds.
If you are running HP Command View EVA 9.3 or later, the green LED on the management
module (1, Figure 23 (page 34)) blinks to indicate the configuration reset has started. The
reset may take up to 2 minutes to complete. When the reset is completed, the green LED turns
solid. This sets IP addresses of 192.168.0.1/24 (IPv4) and fd50:f2eb:a8a::7/48 (IPv6). If
