l
Gateway address: IP address of the default gateway for the management
interface. The gateway is the IP address of the router or node used to
communicate outside the local subnet.
Run the Connection Utility from a host attached to the same subnet as your storage
system. Doing so lets the Connection Utility automatically detect the new storage
system. If you are unable to run the Connection Utility from the same subnet, you can
still manually configure the connection.
Procedure
1. On the Welcome screen, select one of the following methods to configure your
system, and then click Next:
l
Auto Discover - Use this method if you are running the Connection Utility
from a host on the same subnet as your storage system. This method
automatically discovers unconfigured storage systems on your local network
and sends the configuration file directly to the storage system.
l
Manual Configuration - Use this method if you are running the Connection
Utility from a host that is not on the same subnet as your storage system.
This method enables you to create a configuration file that you can save to a
USB flash drive. You then insert the flash drive into the USB port on the
storage system, and the storage system automatically reads the
configuration from the USB drive.
2. [Applies to Auto Discover mode only] From the list of automatically discovered
systems, select the system you want to configure, and then click Next. Note: If
you do not see the system listed on the screen, try clicking Discover to restart
the discovery process. If the problem persists, refer to troubleshooting
instructions.
3. On the Configure screen, specify the following:
l
Name - A meaningful name for this system. You can specify a name up to 32
characters. It can only contain alpha-numeric characters and a dash. It
cannot contain any space characters, underscores, or begin and end with a
dash.
l
In the Management IPv4 Address and Management IPv6 Address
sections, select the options you want, specify relevant information, and then
click Next.
4. Review the configuration information, and then do the following based on the
mode you selected:
l
For Auto Discover mode, click Start to apply the configuration on the
storage system.
l
For Manual Configuration mode:
a. Click Save to USB drive. Ensure that you save the configuration file to
the root directory level of the USB drive.
b. Click Next to identify the location of the port on your storage system.
c. Insert the USB drive into one of the available USB ports on either SP.
The storage system will automatically detect the USB drive and apply the
network connection information. This process may take up to 10 minutes.
When successfully completed, a response file (iw_resp.txt) is written back
to the USB drive.
5. Click Finish.
6. Confirm that the SP Fault LED is solid blue, which indicates that the system's IP
address has been set.
