Chapter 3. Implementing the INRANGE FC/9000 Fibre Channel Director 267
Call home functionality
Call home enables the IN-VSN software to propagate event information and
configurations to INRANGE or IBM systems. This allows better response times in
case of component failures. Call home is disabled by default but can be enabled
by Customer Engineers. A modem connection for the Management PC is
required.
Changing the IP address
The IP settings of INRANGE directors should be done by IBM or INRANGE
Customer Engineers.
The change of the IP settings of an INRANGE FC/9000 director is performed
using a Terminal session via the RS232 Serial Interface.
Each FCM blade has its own IP settings and also its own Serial interface.
You should always keep both IP settings valid to ensure management access in
the event of FCM failures.
To change both addresses, you have to login to both FCM blades one after the
other. So, first you login to one FCM to set its IP settings and then you login to
the other FCM to change its IP settings.
The change process for IP settings involves a booting of the FCM. However this
local FCM boot process does not affect other director parts. Neither the alternate
FCM blade nor the director functions will be disturbed.
This results in a non-disruptive IP change.
3.6.2 Microcode-loads
Microcode-loads can be done non-disruptively using the IN-VSN Enterprise
Manager in conjunction with the TFTP interface. However, this action should be
performed by IBM or INRANGE customer engineers.
3.6.3 Monitoring user activities
IN-VSN management software allows to monitor user activities using an Audit
Trail.
All user levels (admin, oper, viewer) can access the audit trail.
