Configuring node-management LIFs

After the controller modules are physically installed, you can power on each one and configure its node-management LIF.

1. If not already, connect the serial cable between one of the nodes and a PC.
2. Power on the controller module, and wait while the node boots and the Cluster Setup wizard automatically starts on the console.

   Welcome to the cluster setup wizard.
   
   You can enter the following commands at any time:
     "help" or "?" - if you want to have a question clarified,
     "back" - if you want to change previously answered questions, and
     "exit" or "quit" - if you want to quit the cluster setup wizard.
        Any changes you made before quitting will be saved.
   
   You can return to cluster setup at any time by typing "cluster setup".
   To accept a default or omit a question, do not enter a value.
   
   This system will send event messages and periodic reports to Lenovo Technical
   Support. To disable this feature, enter
   Auto Support modify -support disable
   within 24 hours.
   
   Enabling Auto Support can significantly speed problem determination and
   resolution should a problem occur on your system.
   
   Type yes to confirm and continue {yes}:
   
3. Follow the prompts in the Cluster Setup wizard CLI to configure a node management LIF using the networking information gathered earlier.
4. Type exit after node management LIF configuration is complete to exit the setup wizard and complete the administration tasks.

   Example

   Use your web browser to complete cluster setup by accessing 
   https://10.63.11.29
   
   Otherwise, press Enter to complete cluster setup using the command line interface:
   exit
   
   
5. Log in to the node as the admin user, which does not require a password.

6. Repeat the entire procedure for the second newly installed controller module.
