It is important that anyone who has responsibility for
managing the system know how to connect to and log on to the system.
Give attention to those times when the normal system administrators
are not available because of vacation or illness.
Record the following information in Table 1 and ensure that
authorized people know how to access the information.
- The management IP addresses. This address connects to the system
using the management GUI or starts a session that runs the command-line interface (CLI) commands. The system has two Ethernet ports. Each port
can have either an IPv4 address or an IPv6 address or both. Record
this address and any limitations regarding where it can be accessed
from within your Ethernet network.
- The service IP addresses for the control enclosure canister. These
addresses are normally not needed. You might need a service IP address
to access the service assistant during some recovery procedures. Use
this address if the control enclosure CLI is not working. These addresses
are not set during the installation of a Lenovo Storage V7000 system,
but you can set these IP addresses later by using the management GUI
or the chserviceip CLI command.
- The service IP address of the node canisters
on the control enclosures is used only in certain circumstances. The
service IP address connects to a node canister in the control enclosure.
Access to the address is sometimes required if the canister has a
fault that stops it from becoming an active member of the system.
Each of the two node canisters can have a service IP address that
is specified for Ethernet port 1. Each address can have either an
IPv4 address or an IPv6 address or both. Ensure that the address specified
for each node canister is different.
- The system password for user superuser. The password is required to access the system
through the service IP address. The authentication of superuser is
always local; therefore, the user ID can be used when a remote authentication
server that is used for other users is not available.
