Figure 71. P9 EMS checks menu
• For the p9 protocol node, use the ESS 5000 panel.
CAUTION: There is a bug in essutils that has been fixed recently but may not be in the version
you are deploying. When setting the management IP address (C11-T1) it is possible that it tries
to use 'mgmt' instead of 'enP1p8s0f0'.
• So if you try to use:
Assign IP address to Management Interface (C11-T1) and see references to 'mgmt' instead of
'enP1p8s0f0' you know you have the old version (with the bug). For more information, see Chapter
6, "Troubleshooting (SSR tasks)," on page 91.
Note: Always see the Installation worksheet to know what the IP addresses need to be set by using
essutils.
Remember: Use the same SSR port (C11-T4) for p9 EMS or p9 protocol nodes.
1. Perform the following EMS checks.
Perform the following steps if a new POWER9 EMS is included in the configuration:
Note: Skip this section if the EMS has already been configured or if you are only adding additional IBM
Elastic Storage System 3200 nodes to the existing setup.
By using the following steps, you can check the EMS. Ensure that the EMS is the first node that
you check. If you have any POWER9 (5105-22E) protocol nodes, make sure they are checked and
configured first before the EMS.
a. Connect point-to-point to C11-T4 (bottom port).
Note: When you are connecting point-to-point with C11-T4, your laptop receives an IP address via
DHCP of 10.111.222.102 and netmask 255.255.255.252. You can then attempt to ping the C11-T4
port of IP 110.111.222.101 after the node is booted. If the ping does not work attempt to manually
set a static IP on your laptop of 10.111.222.102 and netmask 255.255.255.252. If the problems
still persist, see "EMS issues" on page 91.
