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.
