The DHCP server must be configured to automatically register DHCP clients with
Dynamic DNS services. By default, storage systems are configured to use DHCP for IP
assignment and will accept an IP address offered by a network DHCP server.
Perform the following steps to automatically assign an IP address to your storage
system management port:
Procedure
1. After you power up the storage system, check the SP Fault LED.
l
If the SP Fault LED is solid blue, a management IP address has been
assigned.
l
If the SP Fault LED is solid blue for three seconds and then flashes amber
for one second intervals, no management IP address has been assigned.
Check the connectivity between the system, the DNS server, and the DHCP
server.
2. Open a web browser and access the Unisphere management interface
specifying the following as a URL in the browser's address bar:
serial_number.dns_zone
where
URL string Description
serial_number Serial number of your storage system. You
can find this in the packing materials that
came with your system (for example,
FNM00131800283). It is also on the PSNT tag
on the front of the DPE.
dns_zone Network DNS zone on which the storage
system is located (for example,
mylab.emc.com).
Based on the examples provided in this table, the URL to the storage system
would be FNM00131800283.mylab.emc.com.
If a certificate error appears, follow the instructions in your browser either to
bypass the error or to install the self-signed storage system certificate. For
more detail about your storage system certificate, refer to the
EMC Unity
Security Configuration Guide
.
3. Log in with the default username and password.

The Unisphere Initial Configuration wizard launches.
4. Continue with the steps in the Unisphere Initial Configuration wizard to accept
the license agreement, configure, and update the software on your system.
The Unisphere Initial Configuration wizard online help provides information
about the steps remaining to accept the license agreement, configure, and
update the software on your system.
5. Confirm that the SP Fault LED is now out.
