  • When I tried to perform various settings on the UEFI (BIOS) screen at bare metal server startup, I was asked for the Administrator password. Please tell me the password to enter here.Baremetal Server, ECL2.0

    The Administrator password required on the UEFI (BIOS) is not disclosed.

    If all functions of UEFI (BIOS) are provided to customers, it will be difficult to use and maintain quality of the service. So please note that customers are not allowed to change the settings.

  • Even if I execute the ECL CLI command (ecl baremetal server stop), the bare metal server does not stop.Baremetal Server, ECL2.0

    The ECL CLI command (stop ecl bare metal server) executes a shutdown on software level via ACPI, so, depending on software status, it might take some time to stop power supply or it might not be stopped.

    If you want to definitely stop the baremetal server, please stop the power supply on hardware level as referred to the below document.

  • How to make NIC redundancy at Baremetal ServerBaremetal Server, ECL2.0

    Steps to make NIC redundancy at Baremetal Server whose host OS is created with Enterprise Cloud 2.0 official template Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 image is following.

    ==================================================
    1. Connect same logical network to each physical network device which connected each 2 physical NIC on same plane Baremetal server via Enterprise Cloud 2.0 Cloud computing control panel
    ==================================================
    Please make connection between same logical network and each physical network device which connected each 2 physical NIC on same plane Baremetal server with the procedure which informing at following tutorial. In this case, please specify each same segment type.

    In addition, please specify same segment ID about segment ID(VLAN ID) each in the case of using vlan in segment type.

    ==================================================
    2. Make redundant interface and configure IP address to redundant interface on Baremetal server host OS(Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7)
