EATON IPM Appliance: Update IP address

The EATON Intelligent Power Manager is a software package that help monitor and manager UPS connected to your server infrustracture and can be installed in different ways. For virtual environments, the easiest way is to deploy the pre-configured Virtual Appliance for VMware ESXi.



However what I discovered is there is no easy way to reconfigure the IP addresses just from the management console. As the appliance is based on Centos Linux, you can use basic Linux commands to change the IP address.

For this, you will need either direct console access or SSH.
As you will be changing the IP address and a disconnection will be required, I advise connecting via the direct console.

  1. Log on to the Virtual Appliance as root
    (Default username is 'root'; default password is eaton)
  2. Use vi to modify the ifcfg-eth0 file

    #vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

    Update with the following lines:
    DEVICE=eth0
    BOOTPROTO=static
    ONBOOT=yes
    TYPE=Ethernet
    IPV6INIT=no
    IPADDR=x.x.x.x
    NETMASK=255.255.255.0

    Then, save and close (:wq)
  3. Use vi to modify the sysconfig/network file

    #vi /etc/sysconfig/network

    Update with the following lines:
    NETWORKING=yes
    NETWORKING_IPV6=yes
    HOSTNAME=localhost
    DOMAINNAME=localdom
    GATEWAY=x.x.x.x

    Then, save and close (:wq)
  4. Restart the network service to have settings take affect

    #service network restart

    When purchasing a new major appliance, you might consider also buying the home appliance repair service warranty that goes with it. Not every appliance is guaranteed to come from the factory ready to work for you for the next several years. Some have major problems, and with a service warranty that covers everything, you can avoid the headaches that come with them. appliance repair in lake forest, ca

HP LaserJet P3005 Cold Reset

Image
To perform a factory / hard / cold reset on a HP LaserJet P3000 Series printer wasn't that straight forward in my eyes. Although in the menus there was an option for Reset Factory Defaults, this did very little in erasing the configuration and returning the printer to a default state. After reading through a few manuals I found the following performed what HP call a Cold Reset. Cold reset A cold reset unlocks menus that have been previously locked and sets all control panel menu items(including EIO settings) back to the factory defaults. However, it does not clear the values in the SERVICE menu (such as the serial number and page counts). NOTE    Before performing a cold reset, print a menu map and a configuration page. Use the information on the configuration page to reset any customer-set device configuration values that the cold reset procedure changes. Turn the device off. Turn the device on. When the memory count begins, press and hold the green Check butto
