It is important that anyone who has responsibility for managing the system know how to
connect to and log on to the system. Give attention to those times when system
administrators are not available because of vacation or illness.
Record the following information in Table 1 and ensure that authorized people know how to access the
information.
- The management IP address. This address connects to the system using the management GUI or
starts a session that runs the command-line interface (CLI) commands. Record this address and
any limitations regarding where it can be accessed from within your Ethernet network.
- The service IP addresses for the control enclosure canister. These addresses are normally
not needed. You might need a service IP address to access the service assistant during some
recovery procedures. Use this address if the control enclosure CLI is not working. These
addresses are not set during the installation of a system, but you can set these IP addresses
later by using the management GUI or the chserviceip CLI command.
- The service IP address of the node canisters on the control
enclosures is used only in certain circumstances. The service IP address connects to a node
canister in the control enclosure. Access to the address is sometimes required if the canister
has a fault that stops it from becoming an active member of the system. Each of the two node
canisters can have a service IP address that is specified for Ethernet port 1. Each address can
have either an IPv4 address or an IPv6 address or both. Ensure that the address specified for
each node canister is different.
- The system password for user superuser.
The password is required to access the system through the service IP address. The
authentication of superuser is always local; therefore, the user ID can be used when a remote
authentication server that is used for other users is not available.
