Fixing console redirection
When you boot up each 3200 canister for code 20 checkout, you might see the BMC login prompt vs the
O/S login prompt. If this is the case you must x redirection.
1. Login to the BMC by using the following credentials:
• User ID: sysadmin
• Password: <{Enclosure serial number}A>
Note: Change A with B for right canister.
2. Once logged in, run the following command and then press the Enter key.
ipmitool -I lanplus -H 127.0.0.1 -U admin -P admin raw 0x3c 0xcc 0x0
You must be greeted with the O/S login prompt. If not, you might need to power cycle the canister.
Deleting characters in essutils
When you modify characters (for example, deleting IP addresses) in essutils, you might nd it is not
working. One way to delete characters is with Ctrl + H. We designed the ability for backspace key to be
used normally, but if that fails to use Ctrl + H you can also modify the terminal settings to interpret the
backspace/delete key properly.
When you edit commands in essutils (for example: when you change the IP address with 'c' and save with
Ctrl+G) it is possible to make a mistake that you feel cannot be corrected.
Remember: Any options changed are not permanent. Simply exit essutils completely and re-start. This
will reset all options back to defaults.
IP address setting issues
When you try to set an IP address on an ESS 5000 node or a p9 protocol node by using the ESS 5000
panel, a network issue occurs in nmcli.
When you use the essutils tool to set an IP address for a p9 protocol or ESS 5000 data server node, it tries
to modify the mgmt device instead of the enP1p8s0f0 device. This modication creates a network issue
because the mgmt device exists only for p9 EMS. You can check whether an IP address is set for a correct
device by issuing the following command:
# nmcli c
A sample output is as follows:
