3. Complete the panel.
v Use one of the following procedures if you cannot connect to the node canister
from another node:
– Use the initialization tool to write the correct command file to the USB key.
Go to "Using the initialization tool" on page 177.
– Use a text editor to create the command file on the USB key. Go to "Using a
USB key" on page 176.
Use this procedure if you need to use a direct Ethernet connection to attach a
personal computer to a node canister to run the service assistant or to use the
service CLI.
Perform this procedure if you are not authorized to use a USB key in your data
center and when the service address of your nodes cannot be accessed over your
Ethernet network. This situation might occur for a new installation where the
default service IP addresses 192.168.70.121 subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 and
190.168.70.122 subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 cannot be accessed on your network.
Note: Do not attempt to use a directly attached Ethernet cable to a canister that is
active in a clustered system. You might disrupt access from host applications or the
management GUI. If the node is active, use the management GUI network
configuration options to set the service IP to an address that is accessible on the
network.
Perform the following steps to access a canister using a directly attached Ethernet
cable:
1. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to Ethernet port 1 of the upper node
canister.
Note: A cross-over Ethernet cable is not required.
2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable directly to the Ethernet port on a
personal computer that has a web browser installed.
3. Use the operating system tools on the computer to set the IP address of the
Ethernet port that is used in the previous step to 192.168.70.10.
4. Point your web browser to the service address.
v If you have connected to node canister 1, the upper canister, point your web
browser from your personal computer to https://192.168.70.121.
v If you have connected to node canister 2, the lower canister, point your web
browser from your personal computer to https://192.168.70.122.
5. Log on with the superuser password. The default password is passw0rd.
6. After the action completes, disconnect your personal computer and reconnect
the node canister to the Ethernet network.
7. Set the service address of the canister to one that can be accessed on the
network as soon as possible.
Use this procedure to reseat a canister that is in service state or because a service
action has directed you.
