Hitachi NAS Platform 4000 Series - Configuring the Replacement Server

Configuring the replacement server
Before you begin
Obtain the necessary IP addresses to be used for the replacement server. Servers
shipped from the factory have not yet had the nas-precong script run on them, so a
r
eplacement server will not have any IP addr
esses pre-congured for your use. You need
IP addresses for the following:
■
192.0.2.200/24 eth1 (cluster IP)
■
192.0.2.2/24 eth1 (testhost private IP)
■
192.168.4.120/24 eth0 (testhost external IP, which might vary)
When you run the nas-precong script, it recongures the server to the previous
settings. This step allows the SMU to recognize the server as the same and allows it to be
managed. Recongured settings:
■
IP addresses for Ethernet ports 0 and 1
■
Gateway
■
Domain name
■
Host name
On the replacement server:
Procedure
1. Log in to the server.
2. Run the nas-precong script.
3. Reboot if you are instructed to by the script.
4. Log in to the SMU using one of the IP addresses you obtained.
5. Use a KVM (keyboard, video, and mouse) or a serial cable to connect to the serial
port on the server.
Alternatively, you can connect by way of SSH using the following settings:
■ 115,200 b/s
■ 8 data bits
■ 1 stop bit
■ No parity
■ No ow control
■ VT100 emulation
6. Log in as root (default password: nasadmin), and enter ssc localhost to access
the BALI level command prompt.
7. Enter evs list to obtain the IP conguration for the server.
8. Using a supported bro
wser, launch the NAS Manager using either of the IP
addresses acquired from the EVS list output.
9. Click Yes, and log in as admin (default password: nasadmin).
10. Verify and, if necessary, convert the new server to the model prole required.
