Administrator Guide

NOTE: Power o only the NAS controller on which you are running the embedded system diagnostics. Do not power
o the remaining NAS controllers. Powering o a NAS controller disconnects client connections while their clients
are being transferred to other NAS controllers. Clients will then automatically reconnect to the FluidFS cluster.
2. Press and release the recessed power button at the back of the NAS controller to turn on the NAS controller.
3. When you see the F10 = Launch Dell Embedded Diagnostics Module prompt, press F10. The ePSA Pre-boot System
Assessment
window is displayed, listing all devices detected in the system. The diagnostics starts executing the tests on all the
detected devices.
4. After you are nished running the embedded system diagnostics, select Exit to exit the diagnostics and reboot the NAS
controller.
Conguring the BMC Network
You can congure the baseboard management controller (BMC) local area network (LAN) port to provide KVM (keyboard, video,
and mouse) service for the FluidFS controller serial console I/O. The BMC KVM service enables the administrator or support
engineer to access the FluidFS console I/O to troubleshoot various issues over a computer network.
The FluidFS appliance hardware provides a special physical port known as the Lights-Out Management (LOM) port. This port
provides a standard TCP connection to a switch.
As of FluidFS v4, the interconnect network is an IPv6-only network. The BMC network conguration is no longer dependent on the
interconnect subnet.
You can congure a dierent IP address for each controller in the cluster. However, the network and default gateway are shared
among all controllers. If you check/uncheck the “Enabled” checkbox, you are enabling/disabling the BMC network on all controllers.
BMC Network Conguration Procedure
Follow this procedure to congure the BMC network:
Steps
1. In the Storage view, select the FluidFS cluster that you want to congure.
2. Click the File System tab.
3. In the File System panel, select Cluster Connectivity, and then click the Management Network tab.
4. In the BMC area, and click Modify BMC Network Settings. The Modify BMC Network Settings dialog box opens.
5. Enter the controller IP address.
After you set the controller IP, verify that the netmask and default gateway are correct. Modify them if needed.
6. Click OK.
Next step
NOTE:
You cannot add or delete a controller IP address, you can only edit the IP address for a controller.
Launching the iBMC Virtual KVM
The iBMC (Integrated Baseboard Management Controller) virtual KVM (keyboard, video, and mouse) allows you to view and manage
the NAS controller console remotely over a network.
Prerequisites
• To use the iBMC virtual KVM, you must use a computer with a web browser and JAVA enabled.
• Before connecting to the iBMC virtual KVM, determine the iBMC password. If the FluidFS cluster is congured, the iBMC
password is synchronized with the support account password.
