SSMC IP Change

[AR_Hillbilly]

Hello Folks,

I am in need of changing the current IP that is configured on my SSMC server.  Should I do it from the Main Menu/Configure Network or exit to the shell to change it via linux type commands?  is there any other gotchas that I need to be concenred about.  I will need to work with firewall to make sure needed ports are open between the new IP and the 3PAR arrays.  I don't think there are any SP related changes required.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Justin

I just checked the link. Looks working fine for me.

I tried the link again today and it's working for me.  The message I received last try made it appear as though I didn't have access rights.

Thank you.

Hello Justin,

That's good.

As far as your question, frankley speaking changing the IP address of your SSMC  server is a critical task. 

You can consider the below steps via SSMC interface

Main Menu > Configure Network>> Navigate to the SSMC web interface.>> Go to the Main Menu, select Configure Network.>> Update the IP address information as needed>> Save changes and restart it. 

I hope it helps! Let me know...

@Mr_Techie Mr. Techie,

I hate to look like a fool but I guess if you don't ask you don't learn. 

I must be missing something as you mentioned changing the IP from the SSMC Web Interface.  I am currently on version 3.6 (I know it's downlevel) and I am not aware of a web interface with the options that you provided.  I can log into the command line and get a test based main menu where #1 is Configure Network.  I can hit the web interface on port 8443 and manage the StoreServ devices or I can go to the Admistrative Console.  Not seeing a web interface to manage the SSMC IP.

If I hit #1 from the test based Main menu I get the follow.

To prepare your SSMC Appliance for initialization, configure
the SSMC Appliance's hostname, IP address, subnet mask, and
default gateway. You may then access the SSMC from the Serv-
ice Console at the new IP address.

Press ENTER to continue.

You listed the following.

Main Menu > Configure Network >> Navigate to the SSMC Web Interface....  

Thanks.
