Configuring the Appliance for the First Time
This section contains first-time configuration procedures for the Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance.
Follow these steps to complete first-time configuration:
1. Configure the primary network interface through Oracle ILOM. See “How to Configure the
Primary Network Interface” on page 123.
2. Complete initial configuration using the browser user interface (BUI), which is required for
clustered controllers, or the command line interface (CLI):
■
“How to Perform Initial Configuration (BUI)” on page 126
■
“How to Perform Initial Configuration (CLI)” on page 128
3. Configure management interfaces using the procedure “How to Configure Management
Interfaces” on page 134.
For clustered controllers, lock management interfaces:
■
“How to Lock Cluster Management Interfaces (BUI)” on page 135
■
“How to Lock Cluster Management Interfaces (CLI)” on page 136
4. Update your controller software to the latest release using the procedure “How to Update
Controller Software” on page 137.
How to Configure the Primary Network Interface
Use this procedure to configure the primary network interface through Oracle Integrated Lights
Out Manager (ILOM) when the appliance is first powered on.
Oracle ILOM, which is pre-installed in all storage controllers, is a service processor (SP) with
an embedded operating system. It provides a full-featured, browser-based web interface and
has an equivalent command line interface (CLI). Therefore, you can connect to Oracle ILOM
through a serial connection or through a network connection if your network has a Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. By keeping an Oracle ILOM connection in place
after configuration, you can troubleshoot hardware problems that do not otherwise appear in the
appliance software, as well as update the BIOS.
