Note: Add a ‘B’ at the end of the enclosure serial number for the right canister for password. For
example, if the enclosure serial number is 78E00TF, the password for the right canister would be
78E00TFB.
9. Power cycle the building block.
It is recommended that SSRs do a full A/C power cycle after each chassis is checked. Power cycling
can be done after ping tests are complete.
a. Shut down O/S on both canisters.
shutdown -h now
b. Power off the A/C by removing the power cables.
c. Wait for 5 minutes.
d. Power on the A/C.
e. Power on each canister by holding the red button on each canister.
If you face any issues, see Chapter 6, “Troubleshooting (SSR tasks),” on page 91 topic.
After you complete the above procedure for canister 2, repeat the same procedure for each additional ESS
3200 building-blocks. Ensure that the nal step before code 20 is complete to test that you can ping from
the EMS to both the mgmt and BMC interfaces on each ESS 3200 canister. If the EMS was already set up,
then proceed to do that now. If not, perform this step after the EMS is checked and congured.
Checking ESS management server and protocol nodes
By using the following steps, you can check the ESS protocol nodes and the ESS management server
(EMS). Ensure that the EMS is the nal node that you check in an order (if applicable). If an EMS is not in
the order, skip any ping tests that are specied.
The following hardware checks are the same for the protocol nodes and the EMS because both are not
attached to external storage:
Quick storage conguration check
• If you are adding only a protocol node, when the hardware check-out is complete perform the ping test
from the protocol node to the existing EMS. Request the customer to provide the EMS IP address.
• If an EMS is in the order, the EMS is always checked last and a ping test is performed from the EMS.
• When you congure the IP addresses for the protocol node, set the following items:
– C11-T1 – Management VLAN
– HMC1 port – FSP VLAN
• When you congure the IP addresses for the EMS node, set the following items:
– C11-T1 – Management VLAN
– HMC1 port – FSP VLAN
– C11-T2 – FSP VLAN
• Use P9 EMS panel in essutils for checking the p9 EMS. Do not use the ESS 3200 panel.
