Good morning all,

 

I need some expertise...  I am not too familiar with the MSA storages and have 2 of them in my office.  The previous IT guy did not show me how to connect to them and since his leaving the company had gone through some network changes...

 

So my problem is that they are currently given static IPs and given a static gateway.  So I am unable to connect to them via a CAT5.  Now one of them has a console cable going into one of my servers.  I tried using Putty to connect to the device through the serial port but when hitting the Enter key, I get giberrish...  

 

Can someone help me get connected to the CLI so I can put each device to DHCP?

 

The models are:

MSA2324sa

MSA2312sa

 

The Array Config Utility only shows the SAS controller installed in the server for the server's array of disks.

I found the answer to this problem.  When using Putty, you need to change the baud rate...  Below are the settings:

Set the communications properties to 115200 , 8 , n , 1 , and no flow control

 

Also when in the CLI, you change the IP addressing information with the following command:

set network-parameters ip 1.2.3.4 netmask 255.255.0.0 gateway 1.2.3.1 controller a
