Building an IP SAN Without a DHCP Server
If you will be adding your iSCSI Storage Appliance to a network without a DHCP
server, the IP address will default to 10.10.10.10. Follow the instructions in this
section to place the server on your IP subnet before using Adaptec Storage Manager
to configure the server as an iSCSI Storage Appliance.
1
On a system in your environment (for instance, the system where you will install
Adaptec Storage Manager and the Management Service), set the IP address to the
same subnet as the iSCSI Storage Appliance (10.10.10.x).
2
To open a command prompt and ping the iSCSI Storage Appliance to ensure you
have communication, enter this command:
ping 10.10.10.10
3
Once you have confirmed that you can communicate with the iSCSI Storage
Appliance, telnet to the server by entering this command:
telnet 10.10.10.10
4
You will automatically be placed in the CLI Installation wizard. To exit the
wizard and go to the administrator prompt, enter this command:
*abort
5
If prompted for an ID and password, enter:
admin/admin
(the defaults)
6
To change the IP address, type these commands, pressing
Enter
after each line:
interface
manage eth0
ip
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
(the IP address you want to give your iSCSI Storage Appliance)
It will take a few seconds for the IP address to change, and you will lose
connection to the iSCSI Storage Appliance. The LCD screen on the Snap Server
700i Series bezel will show the new IP address.
7
Continue with “Installing Adaptec Storage Manager” on page 27 to begin your IP
SAN setup.
Note
If the system you used to change the iSCSI Storage Appliance’s IP address is
the one on which you’ll install Adaptec Storage Manager and the Management
Service, be sure to change your Management host back to the subnet you intend to
use for managing your iSCSI Storage Appliance(s).
