Connections from StorMan server to Internal and External Storage

Common

For the provider configuration in StorMan the IP-Address together with authentication data is specified. StorMan supports IPv4 and IPv6. The network connection itself between M2000 and Storage System is not relevant for StorMan. However, the firewall settings must allow the access.

Internal Storage

Internal Disk Storage

• ETERNUS DX / AF series
  have one full LAN management port (MNT). Therefore connection to both private and public network is not possible in parallel (Additional service port e.g. for AIS connect is available).

  There are 2 options (recommended option 2):

  • Option 1: Connect to internal Control LAN:

    No management access from public Admin LAN is possible. Therefore the complete management must be done by SE Administrator only

  • Option 2: Connect to public Admin LAN:

    Management access via public Admin LAN only and by SE Administrator (StorMan)

Internal Tape Storage

• ETERNUS LT series
  have one LAN management port. There are 2 options:

  • Connect to private Management Network:

    No management access from public Admin LAN. Therefore the complete management must be done by SE Administrator only

  • Connect to public Management Network:

    Management access via public Admin LAN only and by SE Administrator (StorMan)

External Storage

All external Storage (Disk and Tape) must be accessible via public Admin LAN.
