Service IP Addresses
The Service IP’s are IP addresses of each of the two IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node 
controllers called canisters. These controllers have their own IP addresses where several 
support actions can be performed. Some of these are listed here:
��
Place canister in Service State
��
Power cycle canister
��
Clear all system configuration data
��
Create new cluster
��
Recover a failed system - action ONLY performed by IBM Support
��
Upgrade firmware manually with controllers offline
��
Extract system event logs
Note: The Service IP addresses are normally not used by the IBM Flex System V7000 
Storage Node administrator. They are used ONLY as part of the initial installation 
procedure or when IBM Support performs certain service actions.
