Setting Initial IP Address on HP StorageWorks
Use the COM port: To set IP address:
Input the data using “ipAddrSet” command Copy the IP Address to the label provided on the front panel
To reset the switch configuration parameters to Brocade default: Enter the “configDefault” command

Upgrading the FirmwarefirmwareDownload
Download the firmware file from source Logon to the switch as `admin’ via telnet Type the command
FirmwareDownload (Immediate`Return’ will force interactive mode)
Host IP Address Username = `root’ Protocol = <rshd |ftp> Password (mandatory if Ftp is used) Filename (e.g. v2.6.0)

Factory Default SettingsconfigDefault
The configDefault command is used to reset some of the switch functional configuration parameters to their default values. All the parameters are set to defaults except the following:
World Wide Name Ethernet MAC address Ethernet IP address and subnetmask IP gateway address OEM customization SNMP configuration Zoning configuration Quickloop configuration License keys System name Password (firmware 2.6 and higher)
Warning: Configdefault resets the switch to factory defaults, not hp defaults
