Xserve RAID: Internal IP address configuration

Issue or symptom RAID Admin may not allow you to configure the Xserve RAID with an IP address in the range 10.254.0.0 to 10.254.255.255 or use a network that conflicts with this range. For example, RAID Admin may not allow you to assign the Xserve RAID the IP address 10.0.0.1 with the subnet mask 255.0.0.0. The Xserve RAID uses the network 10.254.0.0/16 (subnet mask 255.255.0.0) for internal communications. RAID Admin may not allow you to configure the network interfaces with any address in this range. Products affected * Xserve RAID (all versions and firmware) Solution Use a network that does not conflict with 10.254.0.0/16 (subnet mask 255.255.0.0). For example, use 10.253.0.0/16 (subnet mask 255.255.0.0) network to avoid a conflict.
