IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node Introduction and Implementation Guide

The storage system management GUI operates only when there is an online system. Use the 
Service Assistant if you are unable to create a system or if all node canisters in a system are 
in service state. Use the Service Assistant in the following situations:

��

When you cannot access the system from the management GUI and you cannot access 
the Flex System V7000 Storage Node to run the recommended actions

��

When the recommended action directs you to use the Service Assistant.

You can also perform the following service-related actions using Service Assistant:

��

Collect logs to create and download a package of files to send to support personnel.

��

Remove the data for the system from a node.

��

Recover a system if it fails.

��

Install a software package from the support site or rescue the software from another node.

��

Upgrade software on node canisters manually versus performing a standard upgrade 
procedure.

��

Configure a control enclosure chassis after replacement. 

��

Change the Service IP address that is assigned to Ethernet port 1 for the current node 
canister. 

��

Install a temporary SSH key if a key is not installed and CLI access is required.

��

Restart the services used by the system.

There are multiple methods that you can use to change the Service IP address of a storage 
node canister and which method to use depends on the status of the system and the other 
node canisters in the system. Follow the methods in the order shown until you are successful 
in setting the IP address to the required value.

Use the control enclosure management GUI when the system is operating and the system is 
able to connect to the node canister with the Service IP address that you want to change, as 
shown in Figure 4-28 on page 171.

1. Select Settings



 Network from the navigation.

2. Be sure to select the correct node to configure.
3. Select Specify IP address and change it to the new IP
4. Click Save to complete the panel.

Note: The Service Assistant does not provide any facilities to help you service expansion 
enclosures. Always service the expansion enclosures by using the management GUI.

Note: You can set an IPv4 address, an IPv6 address, or both, as the service address of a 
node. Enter the required address correctly. If you set the address to 0.0.0.0 or 
0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000, you disable the access to the port on that protocol.
