Table 26 Global system parameters (continued)
Done
Information
❑
Get the management network subnet mask and the IP address for the
gateway to be used.
❑
Decide whether you want the system to e-mail alerts to administrators. If
so, get the IP address of your e-mail server.
❑
The Pillar Axiom system defaults to the correct Call‑Home connection
parameters and IP addresses, if it uses a direct connection to the Pillar
Call‑Home servers. If you are using a Proxy server, the information on
the Call‑Home connection parameters and IP addresses comes from
the local network and firewall administrators. Get the Call‑Home
configuration modes from the site network and/or firewall administrators.
NAS storage parameters
❑
If you saved a performance profile (from another Pillar Axiom system),
you must know where it is so you can navigate to it.
❑
Decide on an IP address that is available in your network for the initial
File Server. The IP address must not be on the management network.
This network should be appropriate for sustained high utilization file
server traffic.
❑
Obtain the data path network subnet mask and gateways for the data
network. This should be on a network suitable for sustained high
utilization.
❑
Obtain the identity and IP addresses of the naming servers and the
domain controllers (DC).
SAN storage parameters
❑
Understand enough about SANs to specify capacity, type of
redundancy, priority over other volumes, random or sequential file
access, read or write I/O bias, and Clone LUN space requirements.
❑
Use the unique World Wide Name (WWN) for the 8 Gb/s Fiber Channel
(FC) HBA when you update any FC switch configuration data.
