Configuring the replacement server
Before you begin
Obtain the necessary IP addresses to be used for the replacement server. Servers
shipped from the factory have not yet had the
nas-preconfig
script run on them, so a
replacement server will not have any IP addresses
pre-configured
for your use. You need
IP addresses for the following:
■
192.0.2.200/24 eth1 (cluster IP)
■
192.0.2.2/24 eth1 (testhost private IP)
■
192.168.4.120/24 eth0 (testhost external IP, which might vary)
When you run the
nas-preconfig
script, it
reconfigures
the server to the previous
settings. This step allows the SMU to recognize the server as the same and allows it to be
managed.
Reconfigured
settings:
■
IP addresses for Ethernet ports 0 and 1
■
Gateway
■
Domain name
■
Host name
On the replacement server:
Procedure
1.
Log in to the server.
2.
Run the
nas-preconfig
script.
3.
Reboot if you are instructed to by the script.
4.
Log in to the SMU using one of the IP addresses you obtained once they can
successfully connect using
ssc localhost
.
5.
Use a KVM (keyboard, video, and mouse) or a serial cable to connect to the serial
port on the server.
Alternatively, you can connect by way of SSH using the following settings:
■
115,200 b/s
■
8 data bits
■
1 stop bit
■
No parity
■
No
flow
control
■
VT100 emulation
6.
Log in as
root
(default password:
nasadmin
), and enter
ssc localhost
to access
the BALI level command prompt.
7.
Enter
evs list
to obtain the IP
configuration
for the server.
8.
Using a supported browser, launch the NAS Manager using either of the IP
addresses acquired from the EVS list output.
