2. Enter the IP address of Ethernet port you are using to connect to the
BlueScale web interface in the browser address bar using the form
https:// nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
where
nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
is the IP address of the Ethernet port you
connected to the network.
Notes:
ƒ
The first time you connect to the nTier500, use the IP address
you determined during installation (see
Configuring the IP
Addresses on page 48 ).
ƒ
After making the initial connection to the BlueScale web
interface using Ethernet port 1, you can configure the IP
addresses for the remaining Ethernet ports (see
Configuring
Network Connections on page 75 ). You can then use either
Ethernet port to connect to the BlueScale web interface.
3. Resolve the security certificate warning for the BlueScale web interface.
The warning displays because the nTier500 does not have a security
certificate.
Notes:
ƒ
This warning only appears if you have not resolved the
security certificate warning as described in this step.
ƒ
If you choose to skip this step, you will receive the warning
about the security certificate each time you access the
BlueScale web interface.
ƒ
As new browser versions are released, the process for
resolving the security certificate warning may be different
from what is described here.
ƒ
The absence of the certificate does not affect functionality. If
you want to eliminate this warning, purchase your own
security certificate from
www.verisign.com ,
www.instantssl.com , or another SSL certificate vendor and
install on the nTier500 server.
Important
The BlueScale web interface uses a secure Internet connection. You must prefix the
IP address with
https:// instead of just entering the IP address.
