HP P2000 G3 MSA Array Systems - Manual (Page 42)

42 Connecting to the controller CLI port
2. Insert the P2000 G3 Software Support/Documentation CD into the CD drive on a Linux or Windows
computer on the network that is connected to your controller enclosure.
3. Use Autorun or manually start the CD.
The MSA Device Discovery Tool will run.
4. Follow the instructions to discover the IP addresses of the controller or controllers.
Record these IP addresses so that you can specify them whenever you manage the controllers using
SMU or the CLI.
Alternatively, you can set network port IP addresses using CLI on HP-UX, Windows, and Linux platforms.
Setting network port IP addresses using DHCP
1. Look in the DHCP server’s pool of leased addresses for two IP addresses assigned to “HP
StorageWorks MSA Storage.”
2. Use a ping broadcast to try to identify the device through the host’s ARP table.
If you do not have a DHCP server, you will need to ask your system administrator to allocate two IP
addresses, and set them using the CLI during initial configuration (described below).
Setting network port IP addresses using the CLI port and cable
If you did not use the MSA Device Discovery Tool to set network port IP values, set them manually using the
CLI port and cable. If you have not done so already, you need to enable your system for using the CLI port.
NOTE: For Linux systems, see Preparing a Linux computer before cabling to the CLI port on page 41. For
Windows systems see Downloading a device driver for Windows computers on page 41.
Network ports on controller module A and controller module B are configured with the following default
values:
• Management Port IP Address: 10.0.0.2 (controller A), 10.0.0.3 (controller B)
• IP Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
• Gateway IP Address: 10.0.0.1
If the default IP addresses are not compatible with your network, you must set an IP address for each
network port using the CLI embedded in each controller module. The CLI enables you to access the system
using the USB (universal serial bus) communication interface and terminal emulation software. The USB
cable and CLI port support USB version 2.0.
Use the CLI commands described in the steps below to set the IP address for the network port on each
controller module. Once new IP addresses are set, you can change them as needed using SMU. Be sure to
change the IP address via SMU before changing the network configuration.
NOTE: Changing IP settings can cause management hosts to lose access to the storage system.
1. From your network administrator, obtain an IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address for
controller A, and another for controller B.
Record these IP addresses so that you can specify them whenever you manage the controllers using
SMU or the CLI.
2. Use the provided USB cable to connect controller A to a USB port on a host computer. The USB mini 5
male connector plugs into the CLI port as shown in Figure 14 (generic controller module is shown).
