Using EMC CLARiiON IP4700 NAS Devices › Configure the EMC CLARiiON IP4700 NAS Server › Network Configuration

Network Configuration

When you configure the EMC CLARiiON IP4700 NAS server for the network, remember the following points:

• Assign a unique IP address to each of the storage processors in IP4700. Set up the IP address from the console attached to the server.
• Assign unique host names to each of the storage processors.
• Register the host names and IP addresses with the DNS server, so that they are accessible with the host name in any browser.

Note: If the host names are not properly configured in the DNS server and the storage processors are unable to resolve each other’s names, backup and restore operations will not function properly.

If you have purchased the CIFS License from EMC, you should be able to access the volumes on the EMC CLARiiON IP4700 NAS server through Microsoft Windows. You must configure the domain name and WINS server on EMC CLARiiON IP4700 NAS server.
