Installing and Setting Up the System
47
6. (Required) In the Data Interfaces area, enter the IP address, netmask, and gateway you received
from your IT administrator for the Controllers present (or those you plan to install) in the Engine
or System Director Appliance.
This sets the address for the interface that communicates with the switch. If you have two
Controllers, each must have a unique IP address, but the redundant Controller inherits the
netmask and gateway from the first.
In a multi-Engine configuration, each Controller (in each Engine and the System Director
Appliance, if applicable) requires a unique IP address but must use the same netmask and
gateway.
n
In some systems only one controller is supported. If two controllers are detected, a radio button is
displayed next to each controller. Select which controller you want to configure. See “Types of
Controllers” on page 13 for information about which controller (slot) to select for your system.
c
Make a note of the System Director IP address you entered here; you will need it in a later step.
7. (Optional) In the Domain Name Service area, do the following:
a. Enter the DNS domain name for your environment.
b. In the DNS Server list field, enter the IP addresses, separated by spaces, for the DNS servers
in your environment.
c. In the DNS Search List field, you can enter alternate DNS names, separated by spaces, that
are used in your environment. These will be used to help resolve the System Director name
in a browser.

.
The Time setup screen is displayed. Setting the system time is required. If you plan to use an
NTP server, Avid recommends also manually setting the system time. Otherwise, when the
system reboots and the NTP server time is applied, a large time adjustment might be necessary,
which can cause an error when creating the file system later.
t To use a Network Time server, check the box and enter IP addresses for up to two NTP
servers in your environment.
n
In a multi-Engine configuration, enter NTP server or time information on all Engines.
t To manually set the date and time on the Engine, enter the current date, time, and select your
time zone from the drop-down list.
If you configure one or more NTP servers and also manually set the date and time, the NTP
servers take precedence.

.
The Administration password screen is displayed.
Changing the Agent password is recommended, because the Agent password can also log into
the Management Console. The password can be up to 8 ASCII characters long. Enter the same
password on all Engines and the System Director Appliance, if applicable, in the shared storage
system.
c
Be very careful when entering the passwords. If you mistype the new password you will not be
able to log in again.
