Configuring the FI / UCS Manager
This week I went to a customer to install Hyperflex HX240 cluster with 4 nodes. Everything was already racked and stacked.
The first step is to configure the FI’s with ip addresses and a password. Just connect a console cable to the FI and your laptop. It’s easier to setup the FI-A and when the setup is finished then power on the FI-B. The procedure to setup a FI-B is already described at : http://dcccie.joostvandermade.com/?p=25
You should have the correct Firmware for the FI’s. Via the CLI or GUI you can upgrade the FI to the correct firmware. I prefer GUI although via CLI is also very easy. You can find the Dependencies int the Release Notes of Hyperflex
