Change system IP address

Use this command to change the system IP address of the storage system.

It is best to use the initialization tool to create this command in satask.txt together with the associated clitask.txt file that changes the management IP addresses.

Syntax


>>- satask -- setsystemip -- -- -systemip --ipv4 -- -- -gw --ipv4 -- -- -mask --ipv4 -- -->

>-- -consoleip -- ipv4-----------------------------------------><

Parameters

-systemip: The IPv4 address for Ethernet port 1 on the system.
-gw: The IPv4 gateway for Ethernet port 1 on the system.
-mask: The IPv4 subnet for Ethernet port 1 on the system.
-consolip: The management IPv4 address of Storwize® V7000 Unified system.

Description

This command is only supported in the satask.txt file on a USB flash drive.

It calls the svctask chsystemip command if the USB flash drive is inserted in the configuration node. Otherwise, it flashes the amber identify LED of the node that is the configuration node.

If the amber identify LED for a different node starts to flash, then move the USB flash drive over to that node because it is the configuration node.

When the amber LED turns off, you can move the USB flash drive to one of the nodes so that it uses the clitask.txt file to change the node management IP addresses.

Leave the USB flash drive in the node for at least 2 minutes before you remove it. Use a workstation to check the clitask_results.txt and satask.txt results files on the USB flash drive.

If the IP address change was successful, then you must run the startmgtsrv -r command to restart the management service so that it does not continue to issue commands to the old system IP address of the volume storage system.

For example, on a Linux workstation with network access to the new management IP address:

satask setsystemip -systemip 123.123.123.20 -gw 123.123.123.1 -mask 255.255.255.0
 -consoleip 123.123.123.10

You can now access the management GUI, which you can use to change any other IP address that needs to be changed.

The following text is an example of what might be in the satask.txt file:

satask setsystemip -systemip 123.123.123.20 -gw 123.123.123.1 -mask 255.255.255.0
 -consoleip 123.123.123.10
