Logging in to the X9720 Network Storage System
Using the network
Use ssh to log in remotely from another host. You can log in to any server using any configured
site network interface (eth1, eth2, or bond1).
With ssh and the root user, after you log in to any server, your
.ssh/known_hosts
file will work
with any server in an X9720 Network Storage System.
The server blades in your original X9720 are configured to support password-less ssh between
them; after you have connected to one, you can reach the others without specifying the root
password again. If you wish to have the same support for additional server blades, or wish to
access the X9720 itself without specifying a password, add the keys of the other servers to
.ssh/
authorized keys
on each server blade.
Using the TFT keyboard/monitor
If the site network is down, you can log in to the console as follows:
1.
Pull out the keyboard monitor (See
“Front view of a base cabinet” (page 151)
).
2.
Access the on-screen display (OSD) main dialog box by pressing the
Print Scrn
key or by
pressing the
Ctrl
key twice within one second.
3.
Double-click the first server name.
4.
Log in as normal.
NOTE:
By default, the first port is connected with the dongle to the front of blade 1 (that is, server
1). If server 1 is down, move the dongle to another blade.
Using the serial link on the Onboard Administrator
If you are connected to a terminal server, you can log in through the serial link on the Onboard
Administrator.
Booting the system and individual server blades
Before booting the system, ensure that all of the system components other than the server blades—the
capacity blocks and so on—are turned on. By default, server blades boot whenever power is
applied to the X9720 Network Storage System performance chassis (c-Class Blade enclosure). If
all server blades are powered off, you can boot the system as follows:
To boot the system:
1.
Press the power button on server blade 1.
2.
Log in as
root
to server 1.
