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 2 on page 154.
5.
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.
Note: If the system cannot be initialized, you are directed to the service
assistant interface.
6. Follow the instructions that are presented by the initialization tool to configure
the system with a name and management IP address.
7. 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.
8.
After you complete the initialization process, disconnect the cable between the
personal computer and the technician port.
What to do next
The system management GUI can now be reached by opening a supported web
browser and pointing it to
http://management_IP_address
. Use the management
GUI to add each candidate node to the system. Then, it is best to use the
management GUI to set the service IP address for each node now. Ensure that the
system is disconnected from the technician port.
Adding nodes to an existing system
Before you add a node to an existing system, consider this high-level overview of
the requirements and tasks involved.
Before you begin
This task requires that the following conditions are met:
v All nodes that are configured in the system are present. Nodes must be installed
in pairs. Each pair of nodes is an I/O group.
v All errors in the system event log are fixed.
v
All managed disks (MDisks) are online.
v A node with only Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) ports (all FCoE ports) that
is connected to the switch and properly zoned can also be added to an I/O
group.
About this task
Table 23 lists the models and software version requirements for nodes.
