Issuing Essutils Commands Manually - IBM Elastic Storage System 3200 Hardware Planning And Installation Manual

Issuing essutils commands manually

IBM SSRs use the essutils commands manually, if they have some issues with the GUI.
Complete the following steps to use the essutils commands:
ESS 3200
1. Check the storage quickly.
/opt/ibm/ess/tools/bin/essstoragequickcheck -N localhost
2. Find missing disks.
/opt/ibm/ess/tools/bin/essfindmissingdisks -N localhost
3. Check disks.
ESSENV=INSTALL /opt/ibm/ess/tools/bin/esscheckdisks --enclosure-list all --iotest a --write-
enable --duration 5
4. Set a BMC IP address.
/bin/ipmitool lan set 1 ipaddr
5. Set the BMC IP to static, and set a netmask.
/bin/ipmitool lan set 1 ipsrc static ; /bin/ipmitool lan set 1 netmask 255.255.255.0
6. Check the BMC IP information.
/bin/ipmitool lan print 1
7. Assign a management IP.
nmcli c del mgmt ; nmcli con add type ethernet con-name mgmt ifname mgmt ipv4.addr
'192.168.20.21/24' ipv4.method manual connection.autoconnect yes ; nmcli c reload ;nmcli c
up mgmt
8. Check the management IP.
/sbin/ifconfig mgmt
9. Set a VLAN tag.
/bin/ipmitool lan set 1 vlan id 101
10. Confirm the VLAN tag.
/bin/ipmitool lan print 1 | grep -i 'VLAN ID'
11. Do a ping test.
/sbin/ping -c 5
12. Run a passwordless SSH test.
/bin/ssh -o BatchMode=yes -o ConnectTimeout=5 localhost echo 'passwordless test is PASSED'
2>/dev/null || echo 'passwordless test is NOT PASSED. Please run the -Fix passwordless ssh-
menu entry and run Verify passwordless ssh is setup for this node.
13. Correct the passordless SSH.
echo 'You will need to enter the root password if asked' && /bin/ssh-copy-id -o
ConnectTimeout=5 localhost -f
14. Check the memory.
