HP MSM765 zl Installation Manual page 16

Before you can launch the controller CLI you must first determine the switch-assigned index of the
controller. Each product type that is based on the Services zl Module (J9154A) like the controller
gets an index of at least 2 assigned to it by the switch at installation time.
For example, If two controller modules are installed in a switch with no other Services zl
Module-based products already installed, both controller blades will be assigned an index of 2
by the switch. Later, when a Services zl Module-based blade with a different product is installed
in the same switch, it will be assigned an index of 3. Installation sequence per product type
determines the index value.
1. To determine the index of your controller, enter the following at the switch CLI prompt (config
should be skipped if you are already in the switch CLI config context):
config
services
The Services zl Module products and their assigned indexes are listed like this:
In this example, there is only one type of Services zl Module installed, the controller. The
modules are installed in slots A, B, and C. All three controller modules have been assigned
an index of 2. Take note of the index value.
NOTE:
2. Exit the switch CLI config context by pressing Ctrl+z. The switch CLI prompt changes so that
it now looks like this:
HP Switch 5406zl#
Assign an IP address to the LAN port via the CLI
To successfully connect to the controller and configure it via its web interface, you must first assign
an IP address to the controller LAN port using the switch CLI. The starting point for this procedure
is the switch CLI prompt, that (on a 5406 zl switch) looks like this:
HP Switch 5406zl#
1. Select the controller of interest, specifying the slot and index determined earlier.
services <slot-id> <index>
2. Enable the chosen controller CLI and select its config context.
enable
config
3. Select the controller LAN port interface.
interface ip lan

Index 1 is reserved for the Service OS CLI for all Services zl Module-based products.
