Configuring the RLM with the rlm setup command

You can configure the RLM after Data ONTAP is set up, by using the rlm setup command.

Steps

1. Verify that AutoSupport is configured properly.
2. At the storage system prompt, enter the following command: rlm setup

   After the setup command runs, the rlm setup script starts automatically. Follow the appropriate example below to configure your RLM.

   Example

   Example for setting up the RLM with a static IP address:

       The Remote LAN Module(RLM) provides remote management capabilities
       including console redirection, logging and power control. 
       It also extends autosupport by sending 
       additional system alerts. Your autosupport settings are used
       for sending these alerts via email over the RLM LAN interface.
   Would you like to configure the RLM? y
   Would you like to enable DHCP on the RLM LAN interface? n
   Please enter the IP address for the RLM []: 192.168.123.98
   Please enter the netmask for the RLM []: 255.255.255.0
   Please enter the IP address for the RLM gateway []: 192.168.123.1

   Example

   Example for setting up the RLM with a DHCP server:

       The Remote LAN Module(RLM) provides remote management capabilities
       including console redirection, logging and power control. 
       It also extends autosupport by sending 
       additional system alerts. Your autosupport settings are used
       for sending these alerts via email over the RLM LAN interface.
   Would you like to configure the RLM? y
   Would you like to enable DHCP on the RLM LAN interface? y

3. At the storage system prompt, enter the following command to verify that the RLM’s network configuration is correct or to display the MAC address of the RLM: rlm status

   The following output is displayed if you used the static IP address in Step 2:

          Remote LAN Manager
             Part Number:            111-00001
             Revision:               30
             Serial Number:          123456
             Firmware Version:       3.12
             Mgmt MAC Address:       00:AA:BB:CC:DD:EE
             Using DHCP:             no 
             IP Address:             192.168.123.98
             Netmask:                255.255.255.0
             Gateway:                192.168.123.1

4. Verify that the RLM AutoSupport function is working properly by entering the following command at the storage system prompt: rlm test autosupport
   Note: You must ensure the autosupport.to option has been set properly before issuing this command.

   The following output is displayed: Sending email messages via SMTP server at mailhost@companyname.com. If autosupport.enable is on, then each email address in autosupport.to should receive the test message shortly.
