The technician port is an Ethernet port on the back panel of
2145-SV1 and 2145-DH8 nodes that you use to
configure the node.
You can use the technician port to do most of the system
configuration operations that are provided by the front panel of earlier
SAN Volume Controller models, which includes the following
tasks:
- Defining a management IP address.
- Initializing a new system.
- Servicing the system.
To use the technician port, plug one end of an Ethernet cable into the technician port. Then, plug the other
end into the Ethernet port of a personal computer with Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
configured and a web browser that is installed.
Run the system configuration tool by going to address
http://install with your browser. If you do not have DCHP, open a
supported browser and go to the default static IP address 192.168.0.1
for the node.
Note: When your personal computer is configured with DHCP, the technician port uses DHCP to
reconfigure network services on your personal computer. Software on your personal computer that was
using these services might experience network problems while it is connected to the technician port.
For example, selecting a link in a web page that was loaded before you connect to the technician
port might result in an error message.
2145-SV1
node
On the back of a 2145-SV1 node, the technician port is located on the bottom right side of the node. Figure 1 shows the location of the technician port and other ports
that are used to service the node.

2145-DH8
node
Starting from the left at the rear of the
SAN Volume Controller
2145-DH8 node, the technician port
is the fourth Ethernet port to the right.
Figure 2 shows the
