Appendix A. Planning worksheets (customer task)
Customers are responsible for completing the system planning worksheets. Planning worksheets can
help you identify important information that is needed when the system is installed and configured.
The customer then provides the worksheets to the IBM SSR when they install and configure the system.
Installation worksheet
Note: The worksheet has default IPs filled out in case they were not provided by the customer during the
TDA process. Before setting any default IPs have the customer confirm that they are not currently in use
by the associated networks.
Customers must fill in the following values so that the SSR is able perform the required networking tasks.
If there are more than one ESS 5000 node being installed, you will need to add the corresponding rows.
Recommendations:
• Keep all management interfaces on 192.168.x.x/24 (netmask 255.255.255.0).
• Keep all FSP (HMC1) interfaces on 10.0.0.x/24 (netmask 255.255.255.0).
Note: The EMS has an additional FSP connection at C11-T2, which is visible to the operating system.
Important: All IP addresses must on the same subnet. For example,
• All management interfaces on 192.168.x.x/24
• All FSP interfaces on 10.0.0.x/24
