Service IP addresses
The Service IPs are IP addresses of each of the two IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node
controllers called canisters. These controllers have their own IP addresses where several
support actions can be performed. Some of them are listed here:
򐂰 Place a canister in Service State.
򐂰 Power cycle a canister.
򐂰 Clear all system configuration data.
򐂰 Create a new cluster.
򐂰 Recover a failed system (action ONLY performed by IBM Support).
򐂰 Upgrade firmware manually with controllers offline.
򐂰 Extract system event logs.
Tip: The Service IP addresses are normally not used by the IBM Flex System V7000
Storage Node administrator. They are used ONLY as part of the initial installation
procedure or when IBM Support performs certain service actions.
