Procedure: Initializing A Clustered System With A Usb Key Without Using The Initialization Tool - IBM Storwize V7000 Maintenance Manual

Procedure: Initializing a clustered system with a USB key without
using the initialization tool
Use this procedure to initialize a clustered system using a USB key when you do
not have a Microsoft Windows workstation to run the initialization tool or you do
not have a copy of the tool.
In these situations, you must manually create an satask.txt file on a USB key to
initialize your clustered system. Use the USB key that was supplied with your
system or any USB key that is formatted with a FAT32, an EXT2, or an EXT3 file
system on its first partition.

2. Select Change Service IP from the menu.
3. Complete the panel.
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 34.
– Use a text editor to create the command file on the USB key. Go to "Using a
USB key" on page 34.
1. Open a file editor that can create ASCII text files.
2. Create a file called satask.txt.
3. Add a single line of command text to the file.
If you are creating a clustered system with an IPv4 address, the command line
is like the following string:
satask mkcluster -clusterip aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa
-gw ggg.ggg.ggg.ggg -mask mmm.mmm.mmm.mmm
where you must replace aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa with the management IP address,
ggg.ggg.ggg.ggg with the network gateway address, and mmm.mmm.mmm.mmm
with the subnet mask address.
If you are creating a clustered system with an IPv6 address, the command line
is like the following string:
satask mkcluster -clusterip_6 aaaa:aaaa:aaaa:aaaa:aaaa:aaaa:aaaa:aaaa
-gw_6 gggg:gggg:gggg:gggg:gggg:gggg:gggg:gggg -prefix_6 pp
where you must replace aaaa:aaaa:aaaa:aaaa:aaaa:aaaa:aaaa:aaaa with the
management IPv6 address, gggg:gggg:gggg:gggg:gggg:gggg:gggg:gggg with the
network gateway IPv6 address, and pp with the prefix value.
4. Save the file to a USB key.
5. Plug the USB key into a USB port on a control canister.
6. The system detects the USB key, reads the satask.txt file, runs the command,
and writes the results to the USB key. The satask.txt file is deleted after the
command is run.
7. Wait for the fault LED on the node canister to stop flashing before removing
the USB key.
8. Remove the USB key and insert it into your workstation to view the results.
9. Use a web browser to view the results file, satask_result.html.
Check that there were no errors returned by the command. If there is
insufficient battery charge to protect the system, the clustered system creates
successfully, but it does not start immediately. In the results, look for the
