Use the Initial Setup wizard to configure the system information, date and time settings, and network settings.
- On the maintenance utility navigation tree, under Menu, click Initial Setup Wizard.
Initial Setup Wizard is near the bottom of the navigation tree. If you do not see this selection, scroll down the tree.
- Enter the system information, and then click Apply and Next.
If you want to enter the system information later, click Skip this step.
Setting Description Storage System Name Name that identifies the storage system. This name will appear in the maintenance utility. Contact Name of the contact person for the storage system. Location Location of the storage system. - Enter the date and time setings, and then click Apply and Next.
Setting Description UTC Timezone Time zone in which the storage system is located. Automatically adjust clock for Daylight Saving Time Automatically adjust time twice a year. Use NTP Server - Yes: Enter the IP address or domain name of the NTP server or servers. To synchronize the storage system time to the NTP server time now, check Synchronize immediately.
- No: Enter the date and time that the storage system will use.
Synchronizing Time To synchronize the storage system time with the NTP server at a specific time, enter the time when the two will be synchronized. - Enter the settings for the production network to which the storage system will be connected, and then click Apply and Next.
Example:
Setting Description Protocol IP addressing method for configuring the storage system MAC Address MAC address for controllers 1 and 2 IPv4 Configuration/ IPv6 Configuration - IPv4 Address: IPv4 address of the production network to which the storage system will be connected.
- IPv6 Address: IPv6 address of the production network to which the storage system will be connected.
- Subnet Mask: IP address mask that identifies the range of IP addresses in the subnet to which the storage system will be connected (IPv4 only).
- Subnet Prefix Length: Subnet prefix length of the network to which the storage system will be connected (IPv6 only).
- Default Gateway: IP address of the default gateway to which the storage system will be connected. The gateway is the IP address of the router used to communicate outside the local subnet.
- DNS Server 1-3: If your configuration uses DNS to resolve IP addresses (for example, the IP address for the NTP server), enter up to three DNS IP addresses.
Network Connection Mode Determines whether the storage system negotiates the speed and duplex mode automatically with the attached device. Auto-Negotiation (default setting) connects the storage system at the highest speed and appropriate duplex setting supported by the system and the connected device. Option - DNS Domain Name: IP address of the DNS server that will perform address resolution.
- DNS Search Order: Use Up and Down to order the domain names.
- Maintenance Port: Do not change these values.
- Internal Network: Do not change this value.
- In the Finish window, click Apply.
- When the initial settings are complete, click Close.
- Log out of the maintenance utility, and then log out of VSP One Block Administrator.
- Remove the Ethernet cable from the management PC and attach the cable to your production network. Leave the other end of the cable connected to the management port on the rear of the controller.
- Connect one end of another Ethernet cable to the management port on the rear of the other controller, and connect the other end of the cable to your production network.
- Wait 5 minutes for the maintenance utility to fetch the new IP addresses.
- Open a web browser, and log in to VSP One Block Administrator using the new IP address and the new password for the maintenance user specified during initial setup.
- Confirm or change the network settings:
- Open the maintenance utility, and launch the Initial Setup wizard.
- On the Set Up Network Settings page, confirm or change the network settings that you entered, and then click Apply.
