Procedure: Accessing A Canister Using A Directly Attached Ethernet Cable - IBM Storwize V7000 Unified Problem Determination Manual

Procedure
Change the service IP address.
v Use the control enclosure management GUI when the system is operating and
the system is able to connect to the node with the service IP address that you
want to change.
1. Select Settings > Network from the navigation.
2. Select Service IP Addresses.
3. Complete the panel. Be sure to select the correct node to configure.
v Use the service assistant when you can connect to the service assistant on either
the node canister that you want to configure or on a node canister that can
connect to the node canister that you want to configure:
1. Make the node canister that you want to configure the current node.
2. Select Change Service IP from the menu.
3. Complete the panel.
v Use one of the following procedures if you cannot connect to the node canister
from another node:
– Use the initialization tool to write the correct command file to the USB flash
drive. Go to "Using the initialization tool" on page 187.
– Use a text editor to create the command file on the USB flash drive. Go to
"Using a USB flash drive" on page 186.
Procedure: Accessing a canister using a directly attached
Ethernet cable
If you need to use a direct Ethernet connection to attach a personal computer to a
node canister to run the service assistant or to use the service CLI, use this
procedure.
About this task
Perform this procedure if you are not authorized to use a USB flash drive in your
data center and when the service address of your nodes cannot be accessed over
your Ethernet network. This situation might occur for a new installation where the
default service IP addresses cannot be accessed on your network. The default
service addresses are listed in "Problem: Cannot connect to the service assistant"
on page 207.
Note: Do not attempt to use a directly attached Ethernet cable to a canister that is
active in a clustered system. You might disrupt access from host applications or the
management GUI. If the node is active, go to Settings > Network in the
management GUI to set the service IP address to one that is accessible on the
network.
Perform the following steps to access a canister using a directly attached Ethernet
cable:
Procedure
1. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to Ethernet port 1 of a node canister in
the control enclosure.
Note: A cross-over Ethernet cable is not required.
