Re: HMC Question, Private LAN netmask -- MIDRANGE-L

× The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

So I understand, are you saying that you only use one network for the HMC, you remotely access the HMC and FSP on the same network? If that is so, then you must manually set the FSP address? Am I missing something?

I know that some feel that the connection between the HMC and the FSP
should be on some private network. I've never been that paranoid. I put
all my FSP's on the same subnet (while they are in the same building) that
the HMC's (and some other equipment) are on.

I can ping the FSP's and HMC's from any PC in our intranet.

Doing this makes it easier to share HMC's between racks. And, finally,
we're planning on moving our backup rack offsite. We'll have one hmc in
one city and one in another and want to be able to control either rack
from either HMC.
