Hello, trying to access a VNX5300, Looks like certificate expired? How can I get in?

YOU are the MAN!
So I downloaded the windows version of naviseccli from the link you posted. After installed, I ran this from command prompt on the windows machine:
NaviSECCli.exe -address -User root -Password *** -Scope 0 security -SPcertificate -generate
Then on the cli of the NAS I ran this:
/nas/sbin/nas_ca_certificate –generate
Now I have all matching certs to expire in 2028
So, next question, the Settings for IP address and mask etc are all grey out still on Control Station and SPA and SPB. What to do?

Instructions
How do I generate a self-signed certificate from Unisphere?
To generate a self-signed certificate follow these steps:
http: // https://dell.to/3pi8dW1
Where https://dell.to/3JPASZN is the IP address of the storage processor (SP).
You may also import a certificate and the associated private RSA key through SecureCLI.
naviseccli -h <SP_IP> security -pkcs12upload -file FILE [-passphrase PASSPHRASE]
Additional Information
The following three options are presented to you when connecting for the first time to a server:
Unisphere and USM use the Java certificate store for storing certificates. The certificates store can be accessed using the Java Control Panel. Secure CLI and Unisphere Server Utility create a certificate store on the user directory of the client. Unisphere, USM, and Unisphere Server Utility will enforce certificate verification when connecting to the storage system. However, Secure CLI provides the option to bypass certificate verification. This option is provided during installation on a client. You are given the option to choose between two levels: Low (bypass certificate verification) and Medium (enforce certificate verification).

OK, I rolled the clock back to within the certificate window. Now I get pop-ups with different IP's and different cert date windows. I click reject and can get into the interface, but I still cannot get to the point where I can reset certs or create a Self Signed Cert.![VNX-Cert2.jpg VNX-Cert2.jpg](https://www.dell.com/community/assets/community/687062f5-603c-4f5f-ab9d-31aa7cacb376/communityasset-4fe84507-6729-4458-acb6-2c828a79cf29-843465895)

Use your IP addresses, it is just a random URL shortened link.

OK, I changed time so I can get into here 192.168.50.60, then I changed time so I can get to SPA's 192.168.50.62 and 63 and then I get this. HELP, This can't be that difficult?![VNX-Cert9.jpg VNX-Cert9.jpg](https://www.dell.com/community/assets/community/687062f5-603c-4f5f-ab9d-31aa7cacb376/communityasset-10d5a2a9-1a83-47b5-ab71-26a1f3ffd809-843465895)

OK, I was able to generate a Self Signed Certificate for both the SPA (.62) and SPB (.63) by going to the ip in the browser and adding setup to the end (https://192.168.50.62/setup) How can I change the IP address settings, all the fields are greyed out?

Are you logged in when you open the link?
Here is the article:
naviseccli commands will not cause SPs to reboot.
Using the CLARiiON/Block setup page in GUI causes a reboot
Any name change requires SP reboot.
Instructions to update the SPs IP addresses, netmask and gateway IPs is below:
Before you begin:
Check to be sure the array is not part of a storage domain
Check that all hosts have dual-Fibre connectivity and that failover software is working correctly
In Unisphere, Under Domains-> Local - for the array he logged into.
Next, clicked on local, only one array should show up - the array the IPs are being change on
Connect to the Array via the naviseccli
Verify the current settings and record them.
Command to check the current SP settings:
CMD:
naviseccli -h networkadmin -get
SAMPLE OUTPIT:
Storage Processor: SP A
Storage Processor Network Name: A-IMAGE
Storage Processor IP Address: 10.241. xx.xx
Storage Processor Subnet Mask: 255. 255.xx.xx
Storage Processor Gateway Address: 10. 241.xx.xx
Repeat for SPB
Verify the new information before hitting
Once the new ipaddresses are set, if any mistakes were made, it may be necessary to attach directly to the array to correct via the service or serial port
SAMPLE:
naviseccli -h networkadmin -set -address -subnetmask -gateway
At this point theCustomer's network would need to be changed for the new array IP addresses.
Ping the new SP IP and be sure you are able to connect to it before proceeding to SPB.
Once the SPA is updated, contacted, and accessible, Complete changes on SPB
