https://community.hpe.com/t5/storevirtual-storage/management-network/m-p/4448483#M197 Hi George,<BR /><BR />The management port is for the 'iLO' equivalent on the motherboard. <BR /><BR />Put an IP address on NIC1 as part of the setup of the node and then create a bond through the CMC. <BR /><BR />I agree that the iSCSI SAN should be on a seperate network so you can either use a workstation with two NICs so that one can be in the iSCSI SAN or create a route between the networks for management.<BR /><BR />Cheers, Mike.

Isn't the correct configuration to have your normal LAN on the management NIC and your ISCSI on a separate network on NIC 2? When I try to put an IP on NIC 2 it says the node will go into multi site mode which does not sound right to me. <BR /><BR />Maybe I should ask it a different way. I have always put the SAN on it's own separate network. How do you do that and still manage the p4300 SAN?
