• Linux customers should enter the command syntax provided in

"Preparing a Linux computer before

cabling to the CLI port" (page 37)

.

• Windows customers should locate the downloaded device driver described in

"Downloading a

device driver for Windows computers" (page 37)

, and follow the instructions provided for proper

installation.

4.

Start and configure a terminal emulator, such as HyperTerminal or VT-100, using the display settings in

Table 2

(page 39) and the connection settings in

Table 3

(page 39) (also, see the note following this

procedure).

.

1

Your server or laptop configuration determines which COM port is used for Disk Array USB Port.

2

Verify the appropriate COM port for use with the CLI.

5.

In the terminal emulator, connect to controller A.

6.

Press Enter to display the CLI prompt (#).
The CLI displays the system version, MC version, and login prompt:
a. At the login prompt, enter the default user manage.
b. Enter the default password !manage.
If the default user or password—or both—have been changed for security reasons, enter the secure

login credentials instead of the defaults shown above.

7.

At the prompt, type the following command to set the values you obtained in

step 1

for each network

port, first for controller A and then for controller B:

set network-parameters ip

address netmask netmask gateway gateway controller a|b

where:

address

is the IP address of the controller

netmask

is the subnet mask

gateway

is the IP address of the subnet router

• a|b specifies the controller whose network parameters you are setting
For example:

# set network-parameters ip 192.168.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway
192.168.0.1 controller a

# set network-parameters ip 192.168.0.11 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway
192.168.0.1 controller b

8.

Type the following command to verify the new IP addresses:

show network-parameters
