HP MSA 1040 User Guide (762783-001, March 2014)
Obtaining IP values 39
• Linux customers should enter the command syntax provided in "Preparing a Linux computer before
cabling to the CLI port" (page 37).
• Windows customers should locate the downloaded device driver described in "Downloading a
device driver for Windows computers" (page 37), and follow the instructions provided for proper
installation.
4. Start and configure a terminal emulator, such as HyperTerminal or VT-100, using the display settings in
Table 2 (page 39) and the connection settings in Table 3 (page 39) (also, see the note following this
procedure).
.
1
Your server or laptop configuration determines which COM port is used for Disk Array USB Port.
2
Verify the appropriate COM port for use with the CLI.
5. In the terminal emulator, connect to controller A.
6. Press Enter to display the CLI prompt (#).
The CLI displays the system version, MC version, and login prompt:
a. At the login prompt, enter the default user manage.
b. Enter the default password !manage.
If the default user or password—or both—have been changed for security reasons, enter the secure
login credentials instead of the defaults shown above.
7. At the prompt, type the following command to set the values you obtained in step 1 for each network
port, first for controller A and then for controller B:
set network-parameters ip
address
netmask
netmask
gateway
gateway
controller a|b
where:
•
address
is the IP address of the controller
•
netmask
is the subnet mask
•
gateway
is the IP address of the subnet router
• a|b specifies the controller whose network parameters you are setting
For example:
# set network-parameters ip 192.168.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway
192.168.0.1 controller a
# set network-parameters ip 192.168.0.11 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway
192.168.0.1 controller b
8. Type the following command to verify the new IP addresses:
