General Information on
setting up your DS400 for network connection
DS400 Setup
The following sections provide general
information on setting up your DS400 for connecting the Management port (ETH0)
to the network so that ServeRAID Manager can manage the enclosure. You use the Command Line Interface (CLI) to
change the IP address. For
additional information on the CLI see Using the CLI.
The factory default settings for the DS400 are as follows.
Domain Name: ibm.com
Timezone[GMT]: GMT-5
New Administrator password: passw0rd
(the o in password is the number 0)
Default Gateway: 0.0.0.0
DNS servers: NO
Use DHCP: NO
Management i/f IP
address: 192.168.70.12X
Management i/f IP netmask: 255.255.0.0
Management i/f
broadcast address: 192.168.255.255
Management port (ETH0) IP setup
The factory default IP address for the management port for Controller A (the left-most port when viewing the rear of the DS400) is 192.168.70.123 (ETH0[A]). The management port for Controller B defaults to 192.168.70.124 (ETH0[B]). If you want to change these addresses, establish a Telnet session to the respective management port. Once connected, the CLI prompt will appear.
Alternately the CLI can be run from a terminal session by connecting to the left most serial port jack. Use serial cable FRU PN 13N1792 (not supplied). The terminal settings are as follows:
Data
Bits: 8
Parity:
None
Stop
Bits: 1
Flow Control: Off
Note: You need to be in administrator mode to change the IP addresses. Default PW is passw0rd (zero – not an O)
CLI example to set up
a new IP address for the management port
Make sure you are in administrator mode. To check the current settings of the port (ETH0) do the following:
DS400
[A]>ad (log in as
administrator)
DS400 [A]# interface manage eth0[A] info
----[ Interface 'eth0' ]-------------------------------------------------------
Services: management
Alternative name: eth0
Status: Enabled
MAC address:
DHCP DISABLED
IP address: 192.168.70.123
Netmask: 255.255.0.0
Broadcast: 10.1.0.255
MTU: 1500
Speed: AUTO
Note: Make sure the
Status is “Enabled” and DHCP is disabled to set static addresses.
To set up a new address:
DS400[A]# interface manage eth0[A] ip 191.1.9.2
Please wait.
Interface values are now:
IP address: 191.1.9.2
Broadcast address: 10.1.0.255
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
The IP address for the management station has been changed to 191.1.9.2. If you want to make this address permanent, save the configuration.
Note: Any
changes in IP addresses are valid only for the current session. If a DS400 is
power cycled or rebooted, the IP address will revert back to the initial
values. In order to save the new IP addresses do the following from a CLI
prompt:
DS400[A]>
administrator (if not already in ad
mode)
DS400[A]# save
Perform a “System Reboot” (or power cycle the enclosure) to make the new IP address permanent.
To check that the IP address has been
successfully set up and to verify that the IP stack is operational do the
following:
If the DS400 has a second controller,
repeat the procedure shown above.
Once
you have set up and verified the IP addresses, return to About Problem
Determination (back arrow).
Note: In a dual
controller enclosure, it is recommended that a single Telnet session be active only
to one controller. The management of both controllers can take place through
that single connection. You can log on to a controller from the current
controller session by doing a “Controller Set”. See Using the CLI
