EMC CX-4 Connecting to Console via Serial

Hi All,

We have changed the Network IPs of the EMc CX4 SPB and SPA  from default setting to customer setting.

After configuration we are not able to access SPB. I can access to SPA with new IP but I can not access to SPB with nor new IP or default IP.

Is there any way to connect console and changed the Network setting for SP-B ?

I tried to use Cisco cable and Usb converter. I connect it to Serial port and configured my session COMx 115200 bps data bits is 8, Parity None, Stop bits 1 and unchecked the all box for Flow Control.

However, It shows nonsense character. I tried to change speed. But nothing changed.

What is the way to connect to console ? or How can I connect to SP-B from network ?

Thanks

Baris

1. Open a browser,type in the address bar: http: // xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/setup

Where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the Storage Processor (SP-A).

2. When the screen has loaded, type in the Username and Password used to access Navisphere/Unisphere setup page (UI).

3.  Check the Peer SP IP address (SP-B) and Gateway IP address.

4. Try pinging to the Peer SP IP address(SP-B). If ping fails Gateway is not able to comminucate to SP-B.

You can connect your laptop to the Service LAN port ("D" port) of each SP, the default IP of each SP:

SPA: 128.221.1.250 Subnet Mask 255.255.255.248

SPB: 128.221.1.251 Subnet Mask 255.255.255.248

Then you can point your browser to http://128.221.1.250 or 251/setup to change the network configuration.

Connect to the E/F port to the laptop through serial cable supplied by the EMC and open the hyper terminal(windows xp it is inbult for Win7 need to install).
