Record the access information

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 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.
