Configuring IPMI on the DSM
Before you can use IPMI to configure your DSM V6000/V6100 appliance, you need to configure an IP address, and
enable the KVM port for remote Java console support.
Note
You must install the latest version of Java JRE to use the KVM feature.
If you want to configure the IPMI Ethernet port IP address to use an IPv6 address, you must do this through the IPMI
GUI—you cannot configure the IPMI Ethernet port IP address through the CLI.
Note
If the HTTP and HTTPS ports are both enabled for IPMI, IPv6 will not work for HTTPS. The workaround is
to either disable HTTP or use IPv4 instead of IPv6.
To configure the IPMI IP address:
1. Access the DSM CLI and log on to the CLI console.
2. Enter the
ipmi
submenu, type:
0011:vormetric$ ipmi
0012:ipmi$
3. Set the IPMI IP address using the command
ip set
, type:
0012:ipmi$ ip set <
ip address
>
4. Set the IPMI net mask using the command
mask set <net mask>
, type:
0013:ipmi$ mask set <
net mask
>
5. Enable the KVM port using the command
port enable kvm
. The KVM port is required for remote Java console
support. At the prompt, type:
0014:ipmi$ port enable kvm
6. Open a browser session and point the browser to the URL that contains the IPMI IP address you just configured;
https://<IPMI IP address>.
You will see the IPMI login screen, as shown below.
