Hello all,
I have a project to configure a Flex-Appliance. The documentation is not very clear, is it possible to guide me a bit so I can configure the box myself? I did configure non-flex-appliances, but the flex ones are rather different.
Regards,
Rob

Sorry, missed the subject line covering the model.
# IPMI and NIC1/eth0 ports must be plugged-in and up state.
# NIC1 interface is reported as "host0/mgmt" at Flex OS level. It's used to access Flex Management console.
# Get IPMI interface, login and change default sysadmin password.
# Login to Flex Appliance via hostadmin/P@ssw0rd. And change default password (set user password).
# Set timezone (set date timezone).
# Manipulate /etc/hosts file to point IP/FQDN/Shortname to be assigned to host0/mgmt interface (system add-host).
# Configure host0 interface (setup configure-network).
# Set NTP server (set date ntp).
# Configure Flex Management Console (setup configure-console).
Once completed you should be able to access to Flex Management Console (https://fqdn) and login with admin/P@ssw0rd pair.

you would need to seek professional services help as it will need passphrase and key from support for accessing the root.. and since it is a new setup, current support wont help either.
we recently installed the new flex device with help of them.

What's the model number (5150, 5250, 53x0) to be configured?

Since that appliance is already configured to run in lock-down mode to enable immutability, accessing to its shell with root user is prohibited.
