HPE Moonshot System configuration best practices

Setting up a new Moonshot 1500 Chassis requires several common steps that should be performed in the firmware:

[NOTE: ]

NOTE: Use the following syntax for the cartridge and node locations:

  • C<number>: Specifies only a cartridge location, for cartridge-level commands.

  • C<number>N<number>: Specifies only a node location, for node-level commands. The syntax notation <Cx> or <CxNy> is used to indicate when you must specify a cartridge or node location.

Replace <number> in one of the following ways:

  • Single number (for example, C1 for when a command refers only to a cartridge, or C1N1 for when a command refers to a specific node)

  • Multiple values, separated with commas (for example, C1N1,2,3)

  • Multiple values, in a range. For example:

    • C1N1–3

    • C1,2N1

    • C1–10

    • C1–10N1

    • C1–7,34N1–2,4
