Connecting through a private network
1.
Press and hold the recessed Reset button (3,
) for 4 to 5 seconds. The
green LED on the management module (1,
) 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).
2.
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 and 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.
IMPORTANT:
At initial setup, you cannot browse to the HP P6000 Control Panel until you
perform this step.

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.
IMPORTANT:
The new IP address will be lost if the storage system is later uninitialized or
the management module is reset.

From a computer on the private network, browse to https://newly configured ip

Changing the host port default operating mode
NOTE:
Fibre Channel host ports must be connected or have an optical loopback plug installed.
When using the loopback plug, the host port must be configured for direct connect.
By default, a storage system is shipped to operate in a Fibre Channel switch environment and is
configured in fabric mode. If you choose to connect the storage system directly to a server, you
must change the host port operating mode to direct mode. If you do not change this mode, the
storage system will be unable to communicate with your server. Use the HP P6000 Control Panel
to change the default operating mode.
