MSA 2050 - Unbale to change IP address of controller A & B via Management interface

[KH2306]

We are using reclaimed stock from another project, the MSA currently has IP addresses manually assigned and we want to change these to a new vlan but when connected to either controller and typing in the new addresses it just reverts back to the current ones.  Changing via CLi means a visit to the datacentre, the local user account has full access.  Are we missing something or do the controller IP addresses have to be changes by CLi ?

Does this mean it cant be done remoteley and requires a site visist with a USB cable connected to the CLI port?

@KH2306 
The MSA system has an SSH CLI option as well as the USB Serial CLI option.
What version of firmware is your MSA on?  As you are currently re-purposing it's a great time to update the firmware on both the system and the Drives.
Check these sites for what you need:

And do you use these Commands (Example)?
set network-parameters ip 192.168.200.187 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.200.1 controller a
set network-parameters ip 192.168.200.188 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.200.1 controller b
show network-parameters

(I would first change Controller A, check the connection, and then Controller B.)
