Edit Baseboard Management Controller connection
information
You can change Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) administrator credentials in
NetApp Hybrid Cloud Control for each of your compute nodes. You might need to change
credentials prior to upgrading BMC firmware or to resolve a Hardware ID not
available or Unable to Detect error indicated in NetApp Hybrid Cloud Control.
What you’ll need
Cluster administrator permissions to change BMC credentials.
If you set BMC credentials during a health check, there can be a delay of up to 15 minutes
before the change is reflected on the Nodes page.
Options
Choose one of the following options to change BMC credentials:
• Use NetApp Hybrid Cloud Control to edit BMC information
• Use the REST API to edit BMC information
Use NetApp Hybrid Cloud Control to edit BMC information
You can edit the stored BMC credentials using the NetApp Hybrid Cloud Control Dashboard.
Steps
1. Open a web browser and browse to the IP address of the management node. For example:
https://[management node IP address]
2. Log in to NetApp Hybrid Cloud Control by providing the NetApp HCI storage cluster administrator
credentials.
3. In the left navigation blue box, select the NetApp HCI installation.
The NetApp Hybrid Cloud Control Dashboard appears.
4. In the left navigation, click Nodes.
5. To view compute inventory information, click Compute.
A list of your compute nodes appears. The BMC Connection Status column shows the result of BMC
connection attempts for each compute node. If the connection attempt fails for a compute node, an error
message is displayed in this column for that node.
6. To add or edit the stored BMC credentials for a compute node with BMC connection errors, click Edit
connection settings in the error message text.
