Hi Everyone.
I am new to 3par and I just received a used 7450 4node 3par system and I have no support.
Currently, the system has no drives in it. I connected by console to the system through the MFG port using putty and the special adapter. The system is cabled correctly but all the interconnect nodes are amber, so I figured there must be a communication problem between the nodes. I then logged into each node (cli when I could using 3paradm 3pardata) one at a time and checked out the node identifier and netshow information. This is what I had. 16xxxx5 is the serial number Node in slot 0 is 16xxxx5-0 ipaddress 130.175.93.202 Node in slot 1 is 16xxxx5-2 ipaddress 192.168.1.206 Node in slot 2 is 16xxxx5-0 ipaddress 192.168.1.206 Node in slot 3 is 16xxxx5-1 ipaddress 192.168.1.206 Based on the above information, I moved the node in slot 2 (16xxxx5-0) to slot 0, node in slot 3 (16xxxx5-1) to slot 1, node in slot 1 (16xxxx5-2) to slot 2, and node in slot 0 (16xxxx5-0) to slot 4 (because it had a different IP address then the rest). When I rebooted the system all the interconnect connections are green except the ones from node 3 ( the node with the different IP address).
Issues I can identify: There is no cluster; It appears two nodes think they are node 0; And one of the 0 nodes has a different IP address.
Currently, I can log into nodes 0, 1, and 2 with 3paradm 3pardata, but I can not log into node 3 with 3paradm 3pardata even though i could before.
How do I get the node currently in slot 3 16xxxx5-0 ipaddress 130.175.93.202 to have the same IP address as the others and become 16xxxx5-3?
I would try a node rescue but the node in slot 3 thinks it's node 0 and has a different ipaddress. That's why I want to change the ipaddress and make it node 16xxxx5-3
Will a cluster form without drives in the systems?
Pretty much all the console (console cmp43pd) commands hang or do nothing on node 3, so I can't change the IP address there.
Thank you for any help and please let me know if I need to clarify anything.
