Starting the xStack Storage Array for the First Time
The xStack Storage Array is designed with simplicity and ease-of-use in mind for new users.
Towards that end, the xStack Storage Array comes with an "Out-Of-Box Experience" (OOBE) setup
wizard that lets you expedite the unit’s configuration. After the OOBE setup wizard is
completed, the xStack Storage Array boots up using the settings you configured in the OOBE
setup wizard. Thereafter, you can use the procedures in Chapter 5 to change these settings if
necessary.
Before you start the OOBE:
1.
Connect a PC with an installed Web browser.
The IP address for the NIC in the management PC must be on the same IP
subnet (192.168.1.x) as the management port.
2.
Start a Web browser on the PC connected to the xStack Storage Array’s management port.
3.
In the browser’s address bar, type the following default IP address for the management
console and press the Enter key:
192.168.1.1
4.
Start the xStack Storage Array and proceed to Section 4.1.
