controller to boot to LOADER.
5. Set your network connection type at the LOADER prompt:
◦
If you are configuring DHCP:
ifconfig e0M -auto
The target port you configure is the target port you use to communicate with the
impaired controller from the healthy controller during var file system restore with a
network connection. You can also use the e0M port in this command.
◦
If you are configuring manual connections:
ifconfig e0M -addr=filer_addr -mask=netmask
-gw=gateway
▪ filer_addr is the IP address of the storage system.
▪ netmask is the network mask of the management network that is connected to the HA partner.
▪ gateway is the gateway for the network.
Other parameters might be necessary for your interface. You can enter help ifconfig at the
firmware prompt for details.
