Fill out all the information in the following tables in order to navigate through the
initial configuration wizard in the management GUI. Your chances of completing
the initial configuration successfully are greatly increased if you have carefully
planed and completed these tables before you start the initial setup and initial
configuration of the system.
Table 5. This table can be used for recording the information needed for the initial configuration wizard in the
management GUI. The table entries serve as a guide only. Enter the Value column with your system information.
Field Value Notes
System name The name of the Storwize V7000 Unified system. It is
best if this is also the IP name for the management IP
address (For example : myfilesystem1)
NetBIOS name Name used for NetBIOS access to the system.
Note: To change the NetBIOS name after the initial
configuration, use the cfgcluster CLI command.
Time zone Refer to Time Zone List in the IBM Storwize V7000
Unified Information Center. Example: If the machine is
being installed in Tucson, Arizona, USA, the best
match for the time zone is America/Phoenix. You will
match this to a drop down menu located in the
management GUI.
Network Time
Protocol (NTP)
Server
Site NTP server address (for example, 123.123.123.103)
Alternate NTP server Alternate NTP server if applicable
VLAN ID Optional. This list shows one or more Virtual LAN
Identifiers. A VLAN ID must be in the range from 2 to
4095. If you do not use VLANs then leave this field
blank.
Domain name This name is the public network domain name.
Example: company.com
The system name and domain name are typically used
in combination. Example: myfilesytem1.company.com
DNS servers Numerical address of user Domain Name Server (for
example, 123.123.123.102) can be multiple server
addresses
DNS search domain Additional domain names to be used with primary
domain name (for example, a.company.com or
us.company.com)
Authentication
method for network
access to file systems
Refer to Table 9 on page 22, Table 10 on page 22,
Table 11 on page 24, Table 12 on page 25 to set up your
authentication method. When done, return here to
continue.
Public subnet or
subnets
Where subnet is the numeric IP address of the public
network (data path). It is used for all of the Ethernet
data path connections.
Note: The Subnet is entered as the subnet address
followed by the CIDR equivalent of the subnet mask
(for example 99.99.99.0/24). You may have more than
one public network to access the file systems and file
sets shared by this system.
Public subnet mask
or subnet masks
This is the subnet mask or subnet masks associated
with the public subnet or subnets (for example,
255.255.255.0).
