Starting system state
• ESS 5000 comes from manufacturing CSC tested with the latest GA code. All hardware is validated as
'clean' before it leaves CSC. CSC cleans up the system (tear down the file system, cluster, SSH keys,
and so on), and perform an SSR test (essutils simulation) before shipping.
• The system can be ordered racked or rackless. The racked system configuration is as follows:
– ESS 5000 management server (EMS) (5105-22E)
– Two or more ESS 5000 (5105-22E) protocol nodes (optional)
– One or more ESS 5000 building blocks (5105-22E)
- Building block consists of two ESS 5000 I/O server nodes and one or more storage enclosures.
- Solution offerings are SC (Model 106) and SL (Model 092) series
– 1 Gb management switch (required) – preconfigured with the proper VLANs
– High-speed switch (100 Gb Ethernet or 100 Gb InfiniBand) – The customer may choose to use own
supported switch and not purchase from IBM.
– Ethernet cables run
– Power cables run
• Root passwords are set to expire – the default password is 'ibmesscluster'.
• HMC1 FSP passwords are cleared.
• Default SSR port (C11-T4) IP address is 10.111.222.101 per node.
• The ASMI and IPMI passwords are set to the server serial number.
