Run the Connection Utility
Before you begin
Obtain the following information:
l
Serial Number: Unique identifier associated with the storage system (printed on a
tag located on the system). This identifies your system when you use the
Connection Utility to discover storage systems on a subnet. When you register
your system online, this value is the Product ID.
l
System name: Name that you will be assigning to the storage system.
l
IP address: Management IPv4 or IPv6 address through which Unisphere connects
to the storage system.
l
Subnet mask: For IPv4 management addresses, the subnet mask is an IP address
mask that identifies the range of IP addresses in the subnet where the storage
system is connected.
l
Subnet prefix length: For IPv6 management addresses, the subnet prefix length
is the number of significant bits in the address that will be used for routing
purposes.
l
Gateway address: IP address of the default gateway for the management
interface. The gateway is the IP address of the router or node used to
communicate outside the local subnet.
Run the Connection Utility from a host attached to the same subnet as your storage
system. Doing so lets the Connection Utility automatically detect the new storage
system. If you are unable to run the Connection Utility from the same subnet, you can
still manually configure the connection.
Procedure
1. On the Welcome screen, select one of the following methods to configure your
system, and then click Next:
l
Auto Discover - Use this method if you are running the Connection Utility
from a host on the same subnet as your storage system. This method
automatically discovers unconfigured storage systems on your local network
and sends the configuration file directly to the storage system.
l
Manual Configuration - Use this method if you are running the Connection
Utility from a host that is not on the same subnet as your storage system.
This method enables you to create a configuration file that you can save to a
USB flash drive. You then insert the flash drive into the USB port on the
storage system, and the storage system automatically reads the
configuration from the USB drive.
2. [Applies to Auto Discover mode only] From the list of automatically discovered
systems, select the system you want to configure, and then click Next. Note: If
you do not see the system listed on the screen, try clicking Discover to restart
the discovery process. If the problem persists, refer to troubleshooting
instructions.
3. On the Configure screen, specify the following:
l
Name - A meaningful name for this system. You can specify a name up to 32
characters. It can only contain alpha-numeric characters and a dash. It
cannot contain any space characters, underscores, or begin and end with a
dash.
