5.5 HP StorageWorks X9720 Network Storage System Administrator Guide (AW549-96026, March 2011)

Using the serial link on the Onboard Administrator
If you are connected to a terminal server, you can log in through the serial link on the Onboard
Administrator.
Booting the system and individual server blades
Before booting the system, ensure that all of the system components other than the server blades—the
capacity blocks and so on—are turned on. By default, server blades boot whenever power is applied
to the X9720 Network Storage System performance chassis (c-Class Blade enclosure). If all server
blades are powered off, you can boot the system as follows:
To boot the system:
1. Press the power button on server blade 1.
2. Log in as root to server 1.
3. To power on the remaining server blades, run the command:
ibrix_server -P on -h <hostname>
NOTE:
Alternatively, press the power button on all of the remaining servers. There is no need to
wait for the first server blade to boot.
Management interfaces
Cluster operations are managed through the X9000 Software management console, which provides
both a GUI and a CLI. Most operations can be performed from either the GUI or the CLI. However,
the following operations can be performed only from the CLI:
• SNMP configuration (ibrix_snmpagent, ibrix_snmpgroup, ibrix_snmptrap, ibrix_sn-
mpuser, ibrix_snmpview)
• Health checks (ibrix_haconfig, ibrix_health, ibrix_healthconfig)
• Raw storage management (ibrix_pv, ibrix_vg, ibrix_lv)
• Management console operations (ibrix_fm) and management console tuning (ibrix_fm_tune)
• File system checks (ibrix_fsck)
• Kernel profiling (ibrix_profile)
• NFS autoconnection (ibrix_autoconnect)
• Cluster configuration (ibrix_clusterconfig)
• Configuration database consistency (ibrix_dbck)
• Shell task management (ibrix_shell)
Using the GUI
The GUI is a browser-based interface to the management console. See the release notes for the
supported browsers and other software required to view charts on the dashboard.
If you are using HTTP to access the GUI, navigate to the following location, specifying port 80:
