Configuring the RLM at power-up or with the setup command

You can configure the RLM when you first apply power to a storage system with a pre-installed RLM or when you run the Data ONTAP setup command.

Steps

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

   Example

   Example for using setup 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
       The mail host is required by your system to send RLM
       alerts and local autosupport email.
   Please enter the name or IP address of the mail host []:
   Please enter the IP adcress for mailhost.xyz.com []:10.57.160.114

   Example

   Example for using setup 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
       The mail host is required by your system to send RLM
       alerts and local autosupport email.
   Please enter the name or IP address of the mail host []:
   Please enter the IP adcress for mailhost.xyz.com []:10.57.160.114

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: The RLM uses the same mailhost information that Data ONTAP uses for AutoSupport. 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.
