3par Service processor SP4- Not accessible

[owahid]

I have 3par 8200 storage ,The SP v4X virtual machine is not acccessable (web or putty only direct console is running) that happened after I moved the VM from a host to another .

An error appear at start of the vm "eth0 seem to be not presented" , I assum the issue regarding the mac address of this VM is still from the old host and does not changed in the network configuration file ,

My question how to solve that , how to intially login to the redhat SP machine and edit the network configuration file , or if some one help me with SP v4 ISO to install a fress SP VM with small doc provide config steps. or any other option to solver that

Many Thanks

Hi Owahid,

What is the 3PAR OS version? What is the exact version of SP (in v4.x series) are you looking for?

Hello

I think you can find the answer in this Screen shots:SP versionStorage Version

Moving the vSP from one host to another is not supported and will not work - as you can see.

Consider to just re-deploy the vSP - done in probably 20 minutes.

However, both versions (SP and 3PAR) are old and meanwhile unsupported.

Hi Owahid,

You may download the SP OS v4.4 GA53 from - https://myenterpriselicense.hpe.com/cwp-ui/

SP OS v4.4 GA53 is MU2.

Better use 4.4.MU9.

There is a special version for VMWare hosts.

Hi,

how ever, you can give this a try:

Set the VM to a fixed MAC Address, than Power Up.

root

uuidgen eth0

cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
vi ifcfg-eth0

UUID="kkkkk-xxxxx-xxx-xxxxx"
(ctrl-c) ESC > :wq

change MAC
ifconfig eth0
ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig eth0 hw ether MAC_Adress
ifconfig eth0 up

This worked for me.

The problem might be: How to be root?

However, re-deploy of the vSP should take less than 30 minutes.

uuideg    is a command??
