Chapter 5 Set up the Storage Center Software
Note: If configuring a dual‐controller Storage Center, perform this task for both
controllers.
1 Run the following command to configure the management interface (etho).
controller ipconfig eth0 [IP address] [netmask] [gateway]
Example:
controller ipconfig eth0 172.31.1.101 255.255.0.0 172.31.0.1
2 Run the following command to specify one or more DNS servers.
controller dnsserver [DNS server 1 IP address] [DNS server 2 IP address]
Example:
controller dnsserver 172.31.0.50 172.31.0.60
3 Run the following command to specify the domain to which the Storage Center belongs.
controller domainname [domain name]
Example:
controller domainname corp.dom

Manage the iDRAC IP Address

The SC8000 controller includes the Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC7)
that is factory configured for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). The iDRAC
can be left with the original configuration or it can be assigned a static IP address.
Note: To use the iDRAC in a non‐DHCP environment, a static IP address must be
set.
To see if the iDRAC is set to use a static IP address or DHCP, run the following

command:
platform bmc get source
To see what IP address is assigned to the iDRAC, run the following command:

platform bmc show
To set the iDRAC to a static IP address, run the following commands:

platform bmc set ip [IP address]
platform bmc set netmask [netmask]
platform bmc set gateway [gateway]
Example:
platform bmc set ip 10.0.0.12
platform bmc set netmask 255.255.255.0
platform bmc set gateway 10.0.0.1
To set the iDRAC to use DHCP, run the following command:

platform bmc set source DHCP
Note that DHCP must be entered in all caps.
126
Note: On a dual‐controller Storage Center, change the iDRAC IP address on
both SC8000 controllers.
