How to reset IP address of management port?

Solution

There are three ways to reset IP address of management port: reset on Web UI, Controller and LCM.

Reset on Web UI:
Select the Reset to Defaults function tab in the Maintenance function submenu to allow users to reset the system configurations back to the factory default settings.


The options available in this tab:

1. Reset to Defaults: Click the Reset button to progress reset to defaults and force a reboot. The default settings are:
   •  Reset Management Port IP address to DHCP, and then fix IP address: 169.254.1.234/16.
   •  Reset admin’s Password to 1234.
   •  Reset System Name to model name plus the last 6 digits of serial number.

For example: XS5216-123456.

1. •  Reset IP addresses of all iSCSI Ports to 192.168.1.1, 192.168.2.1, … etc.
   •  Reset link speed of all Fibre Channel Ports to Automatic.
   •  Clear all access control settings of the host connectivity.
2. Clear all volume restoration records: Check to clear all volume restoration records.




CAUTION:
Process the Reset to Defaults function will force a reboot. To clear all volume restoration records is irreversible. The system won't be able to restore the recorded RAID configuration if it fails while there is no record.
Please carefully consider before making this reset.

Reset on Controller:

1. Press the button on the controller module for 3 seconds to progress reset to defaults and force a reboot.


The default settings are:

2.  Reset admin’s  Password to 1234.
3.  Reset System Name to model name plus the last 6 digits of serial number.

For example: XS5216-123456.

1.  Reset IP addresses of all iSCSI Ports to 192.168.1.1, 192.168.2.1, … etc.
2.  Reset link speed of all Fibre Channel Ports to Automatic.
3.  Clear all access control settings of the host connectivity.

Reset by LCM:
We provide a portable USB LCM (LCD Control Module) for simple management.
To access the management USB LCM, plug it into the USB port of the right ear in the front
panel and then the LCD screen shows the management port IP address and the system model name.

To access the LCM options, use the ENT (Enter) button, ESC (Escape) button,  (up) and (down) to scroll through the functions.
This table describes the function of each item.

You can reset the system to default settings through LCM function. Please reboot the system after reset to default, because this option won’t reboot the system.
