change Service Processor from one 3Par 7200c to another 3Par 7200c

[Torsten. · Accepted solution]

I'm sure the 3PAR has an IP, but maybe someone has set it to something really odd.

However, each 3PAR comes with 2 LAN cables (red and blue) and 2 adapters (grey and black).

Take a normal LAN cable (e.g. the blue) and connect it to the MFG port of the 3PAR node 0.

Then connect the grey adapter 180-0055 to it. Connect this to a PC, use terminal emulation (putty -> serial), set speed to 57600 and connect.

Now you can logon using your 3paradm user and password (default was 3pardata), then run "shownet" to get the IP.

Thanks, Torsten!

I found the IP connected and well it turned out I have a Node 1 Failed (Node Offline Due to Failure {0xd})

I guess I have to open another post for the replacement procedure and should I go for it at all.

Once again thanks a mil!

OK.

But you need to have a SP connected to this 3PAR.

It can inform you (by mail) about hardware failures and in case you have a support contract it can call home and open a support case automatically.

Nevertheless it is needed in case of patching and firmware updating he hardware.
