Management access using partition IP address
A storage partition can be assigned a static IP address for simplified and focused management of the partition via the command-line interface (SSH) or REST API. The partition IP address provides nondisruptive access to the partition if it is migrated to another member system in a FlashSystem grid or a highly available partition fails over the partner system.
Consider the following behaviors when using the partition IP address:
- Object name or ID parameters
- The user must identify the object using the name or UUID. Short IDs cannot be specified when using the partition IP address.
- Views
- Views will be filtered to display only objects related to the partition associated with the IP address. An error will be displayed if the user requests a detailed view for an object that is not related to the partition.
- Tasks
- Only objects belonging to the partition can be created or acted upon. When creating new objects, the -partition parameter will be auto-populated for the partition. You cannot move items out of a partition when using the partition IP address.
- Service Assistant commands
- The partition IP address cannot be used to run any sainfo or satask commands.
- Audit Log
- If a command was run via the partition IP address when using the CLI or REST API the partition name and UUID will be recorded in the audit log.
