An HCP S Series Node makes use of three networks.
- Access network
- Used for external client access to the S Series Node through the Hitachi API for Amazon S3 (the S3 compatible API). This network can also be used for external client access to the S Series Node through the HCP S Series Management Console and management API.Note: HCP systems and HCP for cloud scale systems always communicate with S Series Nodes over the access network for both management and data access purposes.
- Management network
- Used for external client access to the S Series Node through the HCP S Series Management Console and management API. This network cannot be used for access to the S Series Node through the S3 compatible API.
- You can use the management network to segregate network traffic for management purposes from network traffic for data access.
- Server interconnect network
- Used exclusively for communication between the two S Series Node server modules. The two server modules are the only devices on this isolated network.
If you have the administrator or service role, you can use the HCP S Series Management Console or management API to modify S Series Node network configurations.
