Working with BMC and vif on FAS2020
We had a situation with FAS2020 where we had to connect two interface e0a/e0b has to be assigned two separate IP but when NetAPP engineer commissioned FAS2020 ,they created vif and assigned both the physical interface e0a and e0b to it.
This is how back panel of FAS2020 looks like
The circled one is basically for BMC which is similar to ILO
FAS2020 have two Ethernet interface .
So I had a challenge to delete vif for FAS2020. It’s like virtual interface binded to two physical NIC and filer view can be accessed using vif . So we cannot make changes to vif using filer view . This needs to be accomplish either using serial interface or BMC(Similar to ILO which provide console access)
Couple of facts about BMC which I learned (remember I am learning NetAPP)
1. BMC has IP address and you need to do SSH to the IP not telnet.
2. For user ID you need to use “naroot” and password will be that of root.
3. Once you login to BMC console then you can login to system console using root and then root password
This is how to execute the command
login as: naroot
naroot@xx.0.86's password:
=== OEMCLP v1.0.0 BMC v1.2 ===
bmc shell ->
bmc shell ->
bmc shell -> system console
Press ^G to enter BMC command shell
