v 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 system is powered on, as described in “Powering on the
system” on page 27.
2. Configure an Ethernet port on the personal computer to enable Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) configuration of its IP address and DNS
settings.
3. Locate the Ethernet port that is labeled T on the rear of a node canister.
Figure 29 shows the rear of the node canister where 1 is the technician port.
4. Connect an Ethernet cable between the port of the personal computer that is
configured in step 2 and the technician port. A few moments after the
connection is made, the node uses DHCP to configure IP and DNS settings of
the personal computer. If you do not have DHCP, configure static IPv4 address
192.168.0.2, mask to 255.255.255.0, gateway to 192.168.0.1, and DNS to
192.168.0.1.
5. After the Ethernet port of the personal computer is connected, open a
supported browser and browse to address http://install. The browser is
automatically directed to the initialization tool.
Note: If the system cannot be initialized, you are directed to the service
assistant. Refer to “Problem: Cannot initialize or create a Storwize V7000
system” in the Troubleshooting > Resolving a problem section of the Storwize
V7000 Information Center.
6. Follow the instructions that are presented by the initialization tool to configure
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 to 10 seconds and 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.
What to do next
The system can now be reached by opening a supported web browser and
pointing it to http://management_IP_address .
