How do I change the IP address on a 5020 appliance?

I have a 5020 appliance that is a member of a storage pool. It is not the SPA. I need to change the IP address on eth3 to enable 10GB connectivity but there is no sysadmin account on a pool member. Does anyone know how to either:

1) run the sysadmin menus from the root login

2) change the IP via thecommand line as root

Thanks,

Wayne

Wayne,

You are correct, there is no sysadmin account on a member node of a storage pool.  The sysadmin account is only accessible via the SPA.  So what you have to do is to login to your SPA as sysadmin (if you want to change the IP via CLISH) and run the IP configuration from the SPA.  As part of the command you have to put in the node ip to specify the member node you want to change the IP for.  You can also get back to the original installer for that node via https://<ip address of the node>:8443/Installer (make sure you put a capital "I" on "Installer").

Hope this helps, but let me know if it doesn't.
