DS8800 Initial Setup

IP for DS8800:

10.10.10.10 ds8000mc (DS8800-HMC)
10.10.10.11 sspc (DS8800 – SSPC)
Mask: 255.255.255.0
GW: 10.10.10.1

login/password for HMC (local only): CE / serv1cece
login/password for HMC (remote): customer / cust0mer

Step 1: Install DSCLI (DS command line interface)

install DSCLI command line on a server (download it from ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/storage/ds8000/updates/DS8K_Customer_Download_Files/CLI/ ), or workstation. It's easier to use UNIX or Linux machine, to be able to create scripts.

Step 2: Update the admin password from HMC

From the workstation with DSCLI command line installed, connect to DS8000 HMC (also available for Windows):

[root@aixsrv]/usr/bdl# /opt/ibm/dscli/dscli                                                               
Enter the primary management console IP address: 10.10.10.10
Enter the secondary management console IP address: 10.10.10.10
Enter your username: admin
Enter your password: admin
CMUC00201E : Authentication failure: Your password has expired. Change your password with the chuser command.
Date/Time: August 9, 2011 1:51:03 PM CEST IBM DSCLI Version: 6.5.0.243 DS: -

Now update the password admin:

dscli> chuser -pw passw0rd admin
