Assigning a static IP address

Edit online

If IBM Storage® Protect Plus is installed as a virtual appliance, a network administrator can assign a new static IP address by using the NetworkManager Text User Interface (nmtui) tool. Sudo privileges are required to run nmtui.

Procedure

To reassign a new static IP address, ensure that the IBM Storage Protect Plus virtual machine is powered on and complete the following steps:
  1. Log on to the virtual machine console with the user ID serveradmin.
    The initial password is sppDP758-SysXyz. You are prompted to change this password during the first logon. Certain rules are enforced when creating a new password. For more information, see the password requirement rules in Start IBM Storage Protect Plus.
  2. From a Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) command line, enter nmtui to open the interface.
  3. From the main menu, select Edit a connection, and then click OK.
  4. Select the network connection, then click Edit.
  5. On the Edit Connection screen, enter an available static IP address that is not already in use.
  6. Save the static IP configuration by clicking OK, then restart the IBM Storage Protect Plus appliance.
