Configuration Procedures
The following table provides a checklist of tasks that must be performed when configuring the
FastServe | Live Edit / FastServe | Ingest before installing the OVS software.
Assigning an IP Address
Once you have the FastServe | Live Edit or FastServe | Ingest server connected to your network, you
should verify your network connection. This involves assigning a static IP address based on the
requirements for your site. This enables you to communicate with your shared storage infrastructure.
You should be able to get this information from your site’s Network Administrator.
To assign an IP address for eth0 (1GB):
1. Connect to your FastServe machine with PuTTY or other terminal emulator.
Or connect a keyboard and a VGA monitor directly to server.
You can also connect trough the IPMI console.

Log on as root.
2. Edit the network file according to your network specification.
vim /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
