Access and Update Settings for Replacement NCNs

When a new NCN is added to the system as a hardware replacement, it might use the default credentials. Contact HPE Cray service to learn what these are.

Use this procedure to verify that the default BMC credentials are set correctly after a replacement NCN is installed, cabled, and powered on.

All NCN BMCs must have credentials set up for ipmitool access.

Prerequisites

A new non-compute node (NCN) has been added to the system as a hardware replacement.

Procedure

  1. Ensure that the root user is configured on the NCN’s BMC.

  2. For HPE NCNs, verify that IPMI access is enabled.

    See Enable IPMI access on HPE iLO BMCs.

  3. Verify that the time is set correctly in the BIOS.
