About this task
By using the initialization tool, you can set the USB flash drive to run one of the
following tasks:
v Initialize a new system.
v Reset the superuser password.
v Set or reset the service assistant IP address on a node canister on the control
enclosure.
v Set the management IP addresses.
For any other tasks that you want to perform on a node canister on the control
enclosure, you must create the satask.txt file using a text editor.
The initialization tool is available on the USB flash drive that is shipped with the
control enclosures. The name of the application file is InitTool.exe. If you cannot
locate the USB flash drive, you can download the application from the following
support website. (Search for “initialization tool.”)

Procedure
To use the initialization tool, complete the following steps.
1. If you downloaded the initialization tool, copy the file onto the USB flash drive
that you are going to use.
2. To start the initialization tool, insert the USB flash drive that contains the
program into a USB slot on a suitable personal computer.
3. Run the InitTool.exe program from the USB drive.
v Windows: Open the USB flash drive and double-click InitTool.bat.
The initialization tool prompts you for the task that you want to perform and
for the parameters that are relevant to that task. It prompts you when to put it
in the node canister on the control enclosure or the file module.
4. After the satask.txt file is created, follow the instructions in “Using a USB
flash drive” on page 207 to run the commands on the node.
5. When the commands have run, return the USB flash drive to your personal
computer and start the tool again to see the results.
USB memory key has incorrect gateway address information
If the link on the InitTool panel to the management GUI does not work, the USB
key may have an incorrect gateway address.
About this task
The InitTool.exe may indicate that the initial setup was successful, however, the
link on the InitTool panel to the management GUI may not work. Given this
scenario, it is possible that you have entered a management gateway IP address
that is in the same subnet as the management IP address but is not the IP address
of the gateway for this subnet. To check this, look inside the satask.exe file on the
USB flash drive and note the IP address after the -gw switch. Make sure this IP
address is the gateway for this subnet. If an IP address is needed then check this
with your 1 Gbps Ethernet administrator.
