  • CONFIGURING NETWORK STORAGE SYSTEM OVER A NETWORK
    Publication number: 20140289377
    Abstract: Network storage system configuration via a network is disclosed. An IP assignment component is configured to listen for IP assignment requests over the network. Responsive to identifying an IP assignment request originating from a network storage system, the IP assignment component assigns an IP address to the network storage system, and provides configuration access to the network storage system based upon the IP address. A network device management component is configured to send identification requests over the network. Responsive to receiving a response from a network storage system having a previously assigned IP address, the network device management component provides configuration access to the network storage system based upon the previously assigned IP address. In this manner, a network storage system is (e.g., remotely) configured (e.g., over a network), rather than a technician having to physically connect (e.g., via a serial cable) to the network storage system.
