PS 4210 has two controller, are they active / active?
Hello Group,
I am currently configuring PS4210, but will need some understanding of the IP addressing of the controllers.
1. Should i give IP address to the secondary controller? or they are active / active, so no IPs?
2. In primary controller, i believe that i should give IP to eth0, what about eth1?
Quite confusing, can anyone help me with the IP addressing of the ports..?
No Events found!

No, they are Active/Standby which means that the Standby CM add CPU/Cache but no Network. The role change if you restart the array or a CM failure occurs and the StandBy becomes the active one.
ETH0 and ETH1 are 2 iSCSI ports and ETH(2)/MGMT is the optional dedicated Management Network port.
Talking about "vertical port failover" is the next chapter .... ;)
