Before you begin
Important: Do not use the initialization
tool on a node if any other node in the system is already active. For example, a node status LED is
solid on any node of the system.
You require the following items:
- A supported browser that is installed on the personal computer
- An Ethernet cable to connect the personal computer to the technician port
Attention: Do not connect the technician port to a switch. If a switch is detected, the technician port connection might shut down, causing a
746 node error.
Procedure
To initialize the system, complete the following steps.
- Configure an Ethernet port on the personal computer to enable Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) configuration of its IP address and DNS settings.
If you do not have DHCP, you must manually configure the personal computer. Specify
the static IPv4 address 192.168.0.2, subnet mask 255.255.255.0,
gateway 192.168.0.1, and DNS 192.168.0.1.
- Connect an Ethernet cable between the port of the personal computer that is configured in step
1 and the technician
port. After the connection is made, the system will automatically configure the IP and DNS
settings for the personal computer if DHCP is available. If it is not available, the system uses the
values that you provided in step 1.
- After the Ethernet port of the personal computer is connected, open a supported
browser and browse to address http://install. (If you do not have
DCHP, open a supported browser and go to the following static IP address
192.168.0.1.) The browser is automatically directed to the initialization tool.
- Follow the instructions that are presented
by the initialization tool to configure the system with
a name and management IP address.
- If you experience a problem during the process due to a change in system states, wait 5 - 10
seconds. Then, either reopen the SSH connection or reload the service assistant.
- After you complete the initialization process, disconnect
the cable between the personal computer and the technician port.
What to do next
The
system can now be reached by opening a supported web browser and pointing it to
http://management_IP_address.
