Management module configuration
Using the management module (MM), you can manage SAS storage subsystem, drive assignments, and monitor the health status for the
associated SAS devices. You can manage SAS fabric by using the OpenManage Enterprise-Modular user interface to view inventory,
storage event logs and manage drive or enclosure assignments. For more information about managing the SAS fabric using OpenManage
Enterprise-Modular, see OpenManage Enterprise-Modular User's Guide available at
Controllers.
Options to set up the management module IP address
Configure the initial network settings on your network infrastructure to enable the communication to and from the management module.
NOTE:
For static IP configuration, you must request for it at the time of purchase.
Use the OpenManage Essentials Quick Deploy feature to assign a static or DHCP IP address.
