Procedure: Initializing a Storwize V7000 Gen1 system using the
service assistant
To initialize a Storwize V7000 Gen1 system using the service assistant rather than
the USB flash drive, use this procedure.
About this task
Note: The service assistant gives you the option to create a clustered system only
if the node state is candidate.
Procedure
To initialize a clustered system using the service assistant, complete the following
steps.
1. Point your web browser to the service assistant address of a node canister. It is
best to use the node canister in slot 1; when viewed from the rear of the control
enclosure, the left node canister. The default service address for this canister is
192.168.70.121/service.
2. Log on with the superuser password. The default password is passw0rd. If you
cannot connect, see “Problem: Cannot connect to the service assistant” on page
245.
3. Select Manage System.
4. Enter the system name and the management IP address.
5. Click Create System.
6. Point a supported browser to the management IP address that you specified to
start the management GUI. The management GUI logon panel is displayed.
7. Log on as superuser. Use passw0rd for the password.
8. Follow the on-screen instructions.
Results
Attention: Without a USB flash drive to service the system, it is not possible to
reset the superuser password or to change the system IP addresses in the event of
a fault that prevents access to the management interface. It is essential that you
take steps to record this information for use in the event of a failure.
Procedure: Accessing the service assistant from the
technician port
If a node canister is inaccessible through your administrative network, use this
procedure to connect a personal computer directly to the node canister to access
the service assistant.
About this task
This procedure starts the initialization tool if the enclosure is not part of a system
because the following conditions are true:
v The node canister is in candidate state.
v No system details are configured.
v The partner node is not in active state.
Otherwise, this procedure starts the service assistant.
