Step 19 :
Repeat the previous steps to set the remaining IOM port to a Static IP Address.
5.7 In-Band Management Setup
For in-band connections, to default to the IOM-A NVMe Management Interface (MI) Device connection, the
nvme connections must be completed in the following order:
1. The "openflex-api" application must be installed and running on the Host Initiator server
2. Connect to Controller 1 Add-in-Card C (IOM-A AIC-C) MI Device device first (SlotNumber = 1 = IOM-A)
3. Connect to Controller 2 Add-in-Card C (IOM-B AIC-C) MI Device device second (SlotNumber = 2 =
IOM-B)
4. This allows for any REST API and GUI connections to default down the IOM-A (SlotNumber=1) path,
otherwise the default will be down the IOM-B path
Target IP Address Discovery
• The out-of-band (OOB) network IP Address to either Controller 1 or 2 (IOM-A or IOM-B) must be known
and used for the initial out-of-band connection capability
•
Method #1 - API via OOB Network Connection (using a Browser) (page 195)
connect to the OOB management port of the Data24 to retrieve the two MI Device Target IP Addresses
•
Method #2 - API via OOB Network Connection (using a CURL) (page 196)
the OOB management port of the Data24 to retrieve the two MI Device Target IP Addresses
•
Method #3 - GUI via OOB Network Connection (page 198)
Browser to connect to the OOB management port of the Data24 to retrieve the two MI Device Target IP
Addresses
Host Initiator NVMe Connection Process to the MI Devices to Enable the "in-band
management paths" to the Data24
1. Discover the MI Device NQN Names using the Target IP Addresses
2. Connect to the MI Devices using the Target IP Addresses and the NQN Names
3. List the NVMe Connections to verify the connection process success, and to determine the local "Node
Name" entries for the MI Device connections
Note:
After the MI Device connection(s) are established, the OpenFlex API requires a "GET /
Query/" for the API to discover the In-Band Path to communicate to the MI Device(s). This is
also true if there are MI Device changes or if the MI Device(s) disconnect and then reconnect.
