Chapter 5. Setting up the TSSC for use with theTS7650G
server
The topics in this chapter describe how to install and setup the TSSC for use with
the TS7650G server. These topics include connecting the TSSC to the server,
verifying the code level on the TSSC, updating the TSSC microcode if necessary,
and configuring the Call Home, firewall, and network communication settings for
the TSSC.
Note:
For the most up-to-date information about setting up the TSSC, see IBM
System Storage TS3000 System Console (TSSC) Maintenance Information.
Establishing a connection between the TSSC and the server
This topic describes how to establish a direct connection between a TSSC residing
outside the Gateway frame and the TS7650G server, when no KVM is available in
the frame.
About this task
Important:
If the customer purchased the TS7650G without a TSSC, the customer
must provide an alternative TSSC. You are required to install and configure a TSSC
and its related components along with the other appliance hardware. Failure to do
so will prevent the use of Call Home or IBM remote support.
If the TS7650G is shipped without a TSSC, the TSSC will reside outside the frame.
You must establish a connection between the server and the TSSC, before you can
configure the TSSC's communication settings. Use this procedure to establish a
connection between the TSSC when it resides outside the frame and the TS7650G
server.
Procedure
To establish a connection between the TSSC and the TS7650G server:
1.
Attach a USB-compatible keyboard to any open USB port on the back of the
TS7650G server.
2. Attach a graphics-capable monitor to the video port on the back of the TS7650G
server.
3. If the server is powered down and the front server indicator light is blinking,
press the power button until the server indicator light remains on.
Note: The system startup process may take up to ten minutes.
The ProtecTIER file systems are mounted during the system startup process.
4. If you see the message
Running. . .
on the screen, press Enter to continue to
the log in prompt.
5.
At the login prompt, log in with the user name
root
and password
admin
.
6. Establish a communication path from the server to the TSSC:
a.
Connect an Ethernet cable from the Eth3 port of the NIC card in slot 5 of
the server to a port in the Ethernet switch connected to the TSSC.
