Can be plugged in to the regular mgmt LAN

Any pre-reqs to changing it? I've not played with EMC kit for 5 years and even then I was a disk jockey.

Do I just log on to each spA/setup change IP settings on both nodes and go with the flow? it gives a rather scary warning, am I safe to just go ahead with it? There isn't any hosts connected to any LUNs as I've only just finished the setup.

Cheers

is this a unified box or block only ? Different procedure depending if it's unified/block but in both cases SP will reboot (one at a time). So if you are using block make sure multipathing is setup and working (PowerPath, MPIO)

As the “admin” account I created on building my SAN, yes

Yup, same when I try on SPB

you got this error message when you logged-in to http://SPA/setup and tried to change the IP ?

login as "sysadmin" account, it's the default account that exists on all VNX arrays.

block only, I've yet to setup MPIO\PP, as I don't have anything prod running on it yet apart from a server I've been doing IOP\s tests on.

Whenever I attempt to apply the config, I get:

SP A: Unrecognized Error Code (0x1a)

hmm..logged-in as sysadmin ?

I just tried that – even looked up a pw which directed me to one of your replies telling me the pw is sysadmin – no dice, can’t log in.. Doesn’t give me an access denied, just dumps me back to login page.

I recently ran into this issue myself and had to force a change through the service port using naviseccli. I logged this incident with support, so hopefully I can explanation of what that error means. In the meantime, this was a workaround I used:

Plug in directly to the service port of SPA. Set your laptop IP address to 128.221.1.249 subnet mask 255.255.255.248 default gateway 128.221.1.1

naviseccli -h 128.221.1.250 -user sysadmin -password sysadmin -scope 0 networkadmin -set -address y.y.y.y -gateway y.y.y.y

128.221.1.250 is the service IP address for SPA

replace y.y.y.y with the new IP you want to set it to.

Did the trick nicely, took me a wee while to find the windows ver of naviseccli – but got it sorted in the end. ☺

Thanks
