If the EMS is already a part of an existing ESS setup and only ESS 3000 nodes are being added, then
perform a ping test from each canister to the EMS.
If the solution consists of only ESS 3000 and (POWER8 or POWER9) EMS with no protocol nodes and
there is no ESS 5000, then follow the flow below in the guide to check the EMS first (POWER8 or
POWER9) and then ESS 3000 canisters with a ping test back to EMS. If you are adding additional ESS
3000, ESS 5000ESS 5000 and/or POWER9 protocol nodes, then skip the EMS check. Add the nodes by
using the essutils sequence and perform a ping test from each back to the EMS.
Checking I/O servers
Start the bottom-most build-block in the rack. Starting with I/O server 1, which is the bottom I/O server in
the building block. Then you will be instructed to check the top node in the building block. Repeat the
steps in this procedure for additional I/O servers and building blocks (non-EMS or protocol).
1. Connect the Ethernet cable to C11-T4 (bottom port) of the 1/10 Gb network card. When the Ethernet
cable is connected your laptop should automatically obtain a DHCP IP address from the server, which
is 10.111.222.102.
Note: This card has four ports that are positioned vertically. The top port is connected to the
management switch VLAN.
2. Ping the port to ensure whether it is active 10.111.222.101.
Note: If you do not get a response, debug the problem to find the reason. First, try to set manually
the following static IP on your laptop:
• IP address: 10.111.222.102
• Netmask: 255.255.255.252
3. Use PuTTY, or any alternative terminal, to connect the server by using the SSH client and the
following details:
• IP: 10.111.222.101
• Username: essserv1
• Password: Use the server serial number. The password must contain 7 digits – all CAPS.
For example, ssh [email protected].
An example of how to set an IP in PuTTY for SSH is shown in the following figure. For more
information, see How do I connect using SSH (Putty)?
