Attention: Resetting an IP address while the SAN384B has active IP traffic such
as Fabric Manager, Fabric Watch, SNMP, or other applications can cause traffic to
be interrupted or stopped. Changing the IP address causes a domain address
format RSCN to be issued.
Follow these steps to configure the IP addresses for both CP blades (from the
active CP blade):
1. Log in to the active CP as admin using the serial cable connection.
2. Set up the SAN384B IP address by entering the ipaddrset -chassis command at
the prompt.
swDir:admin> ipAddrSet -chassis
Enter the information at the prompts. Specify the -chassis IP address. The -sw
0 IP address is no longer valid on this chassis.
Note: The addresses 10.0.0.0 through 10.0.0.255 are reserved and used
internally by the SAN384B. External IPs must not use these addresses.
3. Set up the CP0 blade IP address by entering the ipaddrset -cp 0 command at
the prompt.
swDir:admin> ipAddrSet -cp 0
Enter the requested information at the prompts.
4. Set up the CP1 IP address by entering the ipaddrset -cp 1
command:swDir:admin> ipAddrSet -cp 1
Enter the requested information at the prompts.
The following is a sample IP configuration, for the SAN384B (sw -0) and the
two CP blades (cp0 and cp1):
swDir:admin> ipaddrset -chassis

connection, however it is generally used for initial configuration and service
