How to configure HPE MSA controller IP manually using cli port

connect USB to your pc, open device manager and find COM port number, open putty, select serial, and change COM port number, “Baud rate” value may vary.

Default User name is ” manage”

Default Password is ” !manage ”

Since there are 2 controllers you have to select A or B then type command in the following syntax.

set network-parameters ip address netmask netmask gateway gateway controller a|b

I am changing “B” controller in the tutorial, so it will looks like this.

set network-parameters ip 10.150.239.102 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 10.150.239.245 controller b
