Record the NTP Server IP address
Use the Storwize V7000 management GUI to record the NTP Server IP address that
will be changed by the Storwize V7000 Unified management GUI during initial
configuration of the Storwize V7000 system.
Note that the management GUI sets the Storwize V7000 NTP Server IP address to
the file modules management ip address. The file module that is the active
management node runs an NTP server.
Navigate to Settings > General > Date and Time in the Storwize V7000
management GUI. Make a note of the settings for the NTP Server IP Address.
Record the user settings
The user settings are not affected by adding the file modules but you may want to
add similar administrative users to the Storwize V7000 Unified so that you do not
use the Storwize V7000 management GUI any more.
From the Storwize V7000 management GUI:
v Navigate to Access > Users
v Record the settings for each user and user group.
Check the IP addresses
Check that you can ping each of the IP addresses, you should be able to ping
without any packet loss.
Ping each of the IP addresses that you intend to assign to the file modules and
make sure that they get 100% packet loss.
Ping each of the IP addresses in the internal IP address range that you intend to
choose for file module to file module communication. They must give 100% packet
loss otherwise you need to choose a different range.
Note: You will not be able to change the internal IP address range later if there are
problems without first returning the file modules to an out-of-box state, thus,
losing your initial IP address range.
