 There is a windows app that some how finds what IP address the MD3000i 
has given itself. If you don't have control of your DHCP server and thus 
the IP address it gets, this might be the only easy way to find out what 
IP it got.

 The management ports are different from the iSCSI ports. I have my 
management ports on my main LAN but the iSCSI ports are direct attached 
to the server by cross over cables to dedicated NICs on the server.
