Procedure: Initializing the Storwize V7000 Gen2 system using the
technician port
To initialize a new Storwize V7000 Gen2 system, you must connect a personal
computer to the technician port on the rear of a node canister and run the
initialization tool.
Before you begin
You must have the following items:
v A personal computer with an Ethernet port that supports Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
v A supported browser that is installed on the personal computer
v An Ethernet cable to connect the personal computer to the technician port
Procedure
To initialize the system, complete the following steps.
1. Ensure that the system is powered on.
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. This is
the Technician port. 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.
4. After the Ethernet port of the personal computer is connected, open a
supported browser and browse to address http://install. The browser
automatically opens the initialization tool.
5. Follow the instructions that are presented by the initialization tool to configure
the system with a management IP address.
6. 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.
