11.You can continue to configure additional functions and features for your environment in
order to meet your implementation requirements.
4.4 System management
System management allows for troubleshooting and management tasks using the
management graphical user interface (GUI). It includes checking the status of the storage
server components, updating the firmware, monitoring events, and managing the storage
server. It offers advanced functions, such as FlashCopy, Volume Mirroring, and Remote
Mirroring.
A command-line interface (CLI) for IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node is also available.
See Appendix A, “CLI setup and configuration” on page 629 for details.
IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node is managed through FSM or CMM using the
management GUI or a command-line interface (CLI) over an Ethernet connection. For more
information see Chapter 3, “Systems management” on page 83.
4.4.1 Graphical User Interface (GUI)
The IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node graphical user interface (GUI) is designed to
simplify storage management and provide a fast and more efficient management tool. Use a
supported web browser for GUI access to configure, manage, and troubleshoot IBM Flex
System V7000 Storage Node. It is also used primarily to configure RAID arrays and logical
drives, assign logical drives to hosts, replace and rebuild failed disk drives, and expand the
logical drives.
After the first-time setup procedure is complete, open your web browser on a workstation and
point it to your IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node management IP address (Figure 4-33)
and complete the steps guided by the Initial Setup wizard. The default login is superuser and
the password is passw0rd.
Tip: Management IP addresses that are assigned to a Flex System V7000 Storage Node
are different from iSCSI IP addresses and are used for different purposes. If iSCSI is used,
iSCSI addresses are assigned to node ports. On the configuration node, a port has
multiple IP addresses active at the same time.
JavaScript: You might need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Additionally, if you are
using Firefox, under Advanced JavaScript Settings, you need to click Disable or replace
context menus and allow cookies.
Tip: If a management IP has been configured for your IBM Flex System V7000 Storage
Node, the system name that you specified will appear in the login window, as shown in
Figure 4-33. If a longer system name is used, you might need to hover over the system
name to view the full system name, due to limited display space.
