Accessing The Oa Through The Serial Port; Accessing The Oa Through The Service Port; Using Hpacucli - Array Configuration Utility (Acu); Post Error Messages - HP IBRIX X9720 System Administrator Manual

On a Linux system, this is equivalent to the following command:
# ssh glory1 -L 8888:glory-mp:443
However, your Linux browser might not be compatible with the OA.

Accessing the OA through the serial port

Each OA has a serial port. This port can be connected to a terminal concentrator. This provides
remote access to the system if all servers are powered off. All OA commands and functionality is
available through the serial port. To log in, you can use the Administrator or the X9720 Network
Storage System username.
You can also access the OA serial port using the supplied dongle from a blade. This can be useful
if you accidently misconfigure the VC networking so that you cannot access the OA through the
network. You access the serial port as follows:
1. Connect the dongle to the front of one blade.
2. Connect a serial cable from the OA serial port to the serial connector on the dongle.
3. Log in to the server via the TFT keyboard/mouse/monitor.
4. Run minicom as follows:
# Mincom
5. Press Ctrl-A, then p. The Comm Parameters menu is displayed.
6. Select 9600 baud.
7. Press Enter to save.
8. Press Ctrl-A, then m to reinitialize the modem. You are now connected to the serial interface
of the OA.
9. Press Enter.
10. When you are finished, press Ctrl-A, then q to exit minicom.

Accessing the OA through the service port

Each OA has a service port (this is the right-most Ethernet port on the OA). This allows you to use
a laptop to access the OA command line interface. See HP BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure Setup
and Installation Guide for instructions on how to connect a laptop to the service port.
Using hpacucli – Array Configuration Utility (ACU)
The hpacucli command is a command line interface to the X9700c controllers. It can also be
used to configure the E200i and P700m controllers (although HP does not recommend this).
X9720 capacity blocks come preconfigured. However, the hpacucli utility is useful if you need
to configure LUNs. It also allows you to look at the state of arrays.
Use the hpacucli command on any server in the system. Do not start multiple copies of hpacucli
(on several different servers) at the same time.
CAUTION:

X9730 controller error messages

If a controller does not power up during system boot, contact HP Support and provide the lockup
code that appears on POST.
Do not create LUNs unless instructed to do so by HP Support.
