Dell PowerFlex Manager 4.6.x CLI Reference Guide
Modifying an MDM IP address using drv_cfg
This utility calls the kernel to modify the IP address list of an MDM. It is typically used in cases when an MDM IP address has changed, or when MDMs are added/removed from/to the system. The command must be run on every SDC in the system. To bring the changes into effect, a server restart is required.
Location of drv_cfg command:
- Linux: /opt/emc/scaleio/sdc/bin/drv_cfg
- Windows: C:\Program Files\emc\scaleio\sdc\bin\drv_cfg
- ESXi: Refer to "Update the SDC parameters in VMware based HCI or Compute node".
NOTE:Extending your
PowerFlex system with another MDM requires that you update all SDCs in your system with the new MDM IP address. Run the
drv_cfg utility with the
--add_mdm option, and to make the change persistent, use the
--file parameter. In addition, any additional objects or systems which interface with the MDM must also be updated.
