HP Surestore NAS 8000 SAN Solution Integration Manual
28 Installation Guide
Configuring with DHCP
To manually assign an IP address to the NAS server, make sure that DHCP is disabled.
1. If the system was inadvertently powered-up without being connected to the network, you
must manually enable DHCP on each NIC. Connect the network cable and execute the
following commands:
setNetworkCardDhcpEnabled eth0 T
...
setNetworkCardDhcpEnabled eth4 T
doSystemReboot
The NAS server will reboot and the DHCP process will complete.
2. After the NAS server reboots, log in again using a laptop and terminal emulation software
and continue with step 3.
3. To use any NIC other than the on-board network port (eth0) to access the Command View
NAS web interface, you must manually set the system management network card.
Note We do not recommend having your management port be part of a bond
channel. If it is and you change your management port designation, you will no
longer be able to communicate with Command View NAS through the old IP
configuration.
Execute the following command where ethX is the port you will use to access the web
interface:
setSystemManagementNetworkCard ethX
4. To set the sytem host name and record the IP address of the system management network
card, execute the following commands where:
— ethX is the port you will use to access the web interface
— hostname represents the name provided by the system administrator:
getNetworkCardIpAddress ethX
setNetworkHostName hostname
Record the IP address for the primary network port. This information will be used to access
the Command View NAS Web Interface.
5. To log out of the system, execute:
exit
