•
Provide the MAC address for management port 1 to your network administrator, so they can
look up the DHCP address for this port on the Admin Network. The MAC address is printed
on a label on the E5600SG controller, next to the port.
•
Look at the seven-segment display on the E5600SG controller. If management port 1 and 10-
GbE ports 2 and 4 on the E5600SG controller are connected to networks with DHCP servers,
the controller attempts to obtain dynamically assigned IP addresses when you power on the
enclosure. After the controller has completed the power-on process, its seven-segment display
shows HO, followed by a repeating sequence of two numbers.
HO -- IP address for Admin Network -- IP address for Grid Network HO
In the sequence:
◦
The first set of numbers is the DHCP address for the appliance Storage Node on the
Admin Network, if it is connected. This IP address is assigned to management port 1 on
the E5600SG controller.
◦
The second set of numbers is the DHCP address for the appliance Storage Node on the
Grid Network. This IP address is assigned to 10-GbE ports 2 and 4 when you first apply
power to the appliance.
Note:
If an IP address could not be assigned using DHCP, 0.0.0.0 is displayed.
2. If you were able to obtain either of the DHCP addresses:
a. Open a web browser on the service laptop.
b. Enter this URL for the StorageGRID Appliance Installer:
https://E5600SG_Controller_IP:8443
For
E5600SG_Controller_IP
, use the DHCP address for the controller (use the IP address
for the Admin Network if you have it).
c. If you are prompted with a security alert, view and install the certificate using the browser's
installation wizard.
The alert will not appear the next time you access this URL.
The StorageGRID Appliance Installer Home page appears. The information and messages
shown when you first access this page depend on how your appliance is currently connected to
StorageGRID networks. Error messages might appear that will be resolved in later steps.
3. If the E5600SG controller could not acquire an IP address using DHCP:
a. Connect the service laptop to management port 2 on the E5600SG controller, using an
Ethernet cable.
