This section describes how to choose IP addresses for devices to be set on the admin LAN.
Ensure that all of the IP addresses chosen here are on the same subnet.
IP address used by the admin server for management purposes
Choose an IP address for the network interface used to communicate with managed devices.
This IP address will be asked during the manager's installation.
Note that clients can also access the manager via IP addresses other than this admin LAN IP address, as long as those addresses were set within the admin server operating system.
IP addresses used by managed servers for management purposes
These are IP addresses that are used to communicate with the admin server.
They are specified when a managed server is registered.
Refer to "6.1.3 Registering Managed Servers" for more information about registering managed servers.
When registering a server that will be used as a spare server, assign an IP address that does not conflict with IP addresses of other managed servers.
IP addresses used by other devices for management purposes
LAN switch blades
Server management units such as management blades or IPMI controllers.
Power monitoring devices
A management IP address must also be chosen for each of the following devices if they are to be registered into Resource Coordinator VE. For the following components, IP addresses can be chosen either within or outside of the admin LAN.
VM management software
IP address of the server on which VM management software is to be installed.
LAN switches other than LAN switch blades
IP address used by the admin server to track network connections (topology) between managed servers (PRIMERGY BX) and their adjacent LAN switches, and display them in the Network Map
