Preparing for the Installation
Before unpacking and installing the Spectra nTier300 VTL, confirm the following:
The installation location has adequate clearance for ventilation, minimal dust and
debris, and proximity to an appropriate AC power source.
The appropriate network connections are available. The nTier300 VTL requires a
minimum of one Ethernet connection to provide the FalconStor VTL Console access
to the nTier300 VTL and for accessing the BlueScale web interface. It also requires
network connections to the backup servers that will be accessing the nTier300 VTL
for data storage.
Ethernet port 1 is preconfigured to use DHCP addressing. Identify a network
with a properly configured DHCP/DNS server.
Ethernet port 2 is preconfigured with an IP address of 192.168.1.2. If your
network does not have a DHCP/DNS server, identify a network connection that
is compatible with this IP address.
Note:
The Ethernet port used for accessing the BlueScale web interface
and the VTL Console can also be used to provide network
connectivity to the VTL from the backup server for data storage.
