Performing Initial Configuration (BUI)
Next Steps
■
To perform initial configuration through the BUI using any client on the same network, see
“Performing Initial Configuration (BUI)” on page 187. It is strongly recommended that
you select this method for initial configuration of clustered controllers.
■
To perform initial configuration through the CLI, see “Performing Initial Configuration
(CLI)” on page 201.
Performing Initial Configuration (BUI)
Use this procedure, which is a step-by-step utility, to complete initial configuration of network
interfaces, the Domain Name Service (DNS), time settings, name services, directory services,
storage, and remote support on the appliance. This procedure is for standalone and clustered
appliance configuration.
Note - If you are installing clustered controllers, it is strongly recommended that you use the
BUI for initial configuration.
For clustered controllers, configure only the primary controller. Do not attempt initial
configuration on both controllers independently. For more information about clustering, see
“Appliance Cluster Configuration” in Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance Administration Guide,
Release OS8.6.x.
Before You Begin
■
Gather the following information for the interfaces and services you will set up, and

Note - LDAP and NIS are optional for setup, but recommended. LDAP is preferred to NIS;
do not run NIS and LDAP at the same time.

■
IP address and netmask for the management interface (two if clustered controllers)
■
IP address and netmask for the data interface (two if clustered controllers)
