IBM TotalStorage NAS 300, User Reference

Page: 23 / 200

Chapter 2. Getting started
This chapter gives details to set up the initial communication to the NAS Gateway
300 to enable setup and configuration. These instructions refer specifically to a
base configuration as shipped and do not cover the setup of additional storage
units, which can be purchased separately.
Note: You must follow these procedures for both nodes.
Methods for setting up the NAS Gateway 300
The following sections detail how to set up the NAS Gateway 300. You must first
ensure that the network recognizes the new appliance. Which method you should
use depends on several conditions:
v In “headless” mode (without a keyboard, monitor, and mouse directly attached to
the unit), use one of the following methods:
– IBM Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility
If you have multiple appliances or cannot determine the DHCP address, install
the IAACU to identify appliances and define IP addresses. The tool also
allows you to set static addresses.
If you are using this method, proceed with “Installing the IBM Advanced
Appliance Configuration Utility” on page 17.
– Windows Terminal Services
If DHCP is installed and the IP address requested can be determined, use this
method for initial setup, but you should change the address to static later in
the configuration. This condition is most appropriate when using Windows
Terminal Services for operation of the NAS Gateway 300.
If you are using this method, proceed with “Initial setup and configuration” on
page 10.
v The use of a keyboard, display, and mouse is most appropriate when there is a
single or few appliances in the network and you use static setup and definition.
If you are using this method, proceed with “Initial setup and configuration” on
page 10.
Accessing Universal Manageability Services
1. You will be prompted to authenticate with the administrative user name
(“Administrator”) and password (initially “password,” but you can change it later;
note that the password is case-sensitive, but the user name is not).
If this is the first time you have accessed the UM Services browser (on any
appliance) from this workstation, you will also be prompted to install the Swing
and XML Java libraries in your Web browser. You can download these libraries
from the NAS Gateway 300 through the network link.
2. The UM Services browser starts. In the left pane, Microsoft Windows 2000 for
Network Attached Storage is automatically selected on the Appliance tab. In the
right pane, Windows 2000 for Network Attached Storage starts.
3. Again, you are prompted to authenticate with the administrative user name and
password.
4. Click Administer this server appliance to bring up the Microsoft Windows
2000 for Network Attached Storage GUI.
