In the case of Lenovo Storage V series, the USB flash drive is not required to initialize the configuration; however, it can be used for
other functions.
Using the
USB flash drive is required in the following situations:
- When you cannot connect to a node canister in a
control enclosure by using the service assistant or the technician
port, and you want to see the status of the node or re-enable the
technician port.
- When you do not know, or cannot use, the service IP address for the node canister
in the control enclosure and must set the address.
- When you have forgotten the superuser password and must reset
the password.
