Description

This document explains how to calculate the SVP internal IP address on the Sun StorEdge[TM] 9985 (SE9985). The IP address calculation is far different than for previous models and as such you must follow the table included below to determine the correct IP address.

Steps to Follow

The actual math is demonstrated here:

Subtract 40,000 from the actual serial number, and then use a scientific calculator to convert the IP Address serial number 4xxxx to a hex value, then convert the hex value chunks to decimal values, to determine the middle two chunks of the 126.xxx.xxx.15 SVP IP address.

For example:
Actual NSC55 serial number = 80024
80024 - 40000 = 40024
40024 (decimal) = 9C58 (hex)
9C (hex) = 156 (decimal), and 58 (hex) = 88 (decimal)
SVP IP Address = 126.156.88.15, for serial number 80024.

SE9985 Serial number Breakdown:

  [X][YYYY]   (5-digit decimal number)

     X : Factory/Model code                  1-digit decimal number: 0-9
Y : Consecutive number                  4-digit decimal number: 0000-9999

Factory/model code	Serial Number	IP address	Serial Number	IP address
0	0-4999	0-4999	5000-9999	50000-54999
1	10000-14999	5000-9999	15000-19999	55000-59999
2	20000-24999	10000-14999	25000-29999	50000-54999
3	30000-34999	15000-19999	35000-39999	55000-59999
4	40000-44999	20000-24999	45000-49999	50000-54999
5	50000-54999	25000-29999	55000-59999	55000-59999
6	60000-64999	30000-34999	65000-69999	50000-54999
7	70000-74999	35000-39999	75000-79999	55000-59999
8	80000-84999	40000-44999	85000-89999	50000-54999
9	90000-94999	45000-49999	95000-99999	55000-59999

For example take Serial Number 86300,which falls in the range of 85000-89999 and subtract the corresponding value of 50000 as indicated in the corresponding "IP Address" column. Always use the first number in the range to subtract from your serial number. You would use 10000 to subtract if your serial number was 20014. Use 50000 if your serial number was 25193 and 35000 if your serial number was 72543.

86300 - 50000 = 36300 (decimal)
Hex Value = 8DCC
Second octet "8D" (hex) = 141 (decimal)
Third octet "CC" (hex) = 204 (decimal)

SVP IP = 126.141.204.15
