Before you begin

Important: Do not use the initialization tool on a node if any other node in the system is already active.

For example, a node status LED is solid on any node of the system.

You require the following items:

• A supported browser that is installed on the personal computer

• An Ethernet cable to connect the personal computer to the technician port

Attention: Do not connect the technician port to a switch. If a switch is detected, the technician

port connection might shut down, causing a 746 node error.

Procedure

To initialize the system, complete the following steps.

1. Ensure that the nodes and switches of the system are powered on.

(Refer to "Powering on and powering off the clustered system" in the SAN Volume Controller IBM

Knowledge Center.)

2. Congure an Ethernet port on the personal computer to enable Dynamic Host Conguration Protocol

(DHCP) conguration of its IP address and DNS settings.

If you do not have DHCP, you must manually congure the personal computer. Specify the static IPv4

address 192.168.0.2, subnet mask 255.255.255.0, gateway 192.168.0.1, and DNS

192.168.0.1.

3. Starting from the right at the rear of the node, locate the rst Ethernet port to the left, which is the

technician port. This port is labeled

1 in the gure below.

Figure 148. Technician port

4. Connect an Ethernet cable between the port of the personal computer that is congured in step “2” on

page 140 and the technician port.

After the connection is made, the system will automatically congure the IP and DNS settings for the

personal computer if DHCP is available. If it is not available, the system uses the values that you

provided in step “2” on page 140.

5. After the Ethernet port of the personal computer is connected, open a supported browser and browse

to address http://install. (If you do not have DCHP, open a supported browser and go to the

following static IP address 192.168.0.1.)

The browser is automatically directed to the initialization tool.

Note: If the system cannot be initialized, you are directed to the service assistant interface.

6. Follow the instructions that are presented by the initialization tool to congure the system with a name

and management IP address.

7. If you experience a problem during the process due to a change in system states, wait 5 - 10 seconds.

Then, either reopen the SSH connection or reload the service assistant.

8. After you complete the initialization process, disconnect the cable between the personal computer

and the technician port.
