Configuring NAS Appliances Over an IP Network
If you are configuring multiple NAS appliances on the same IP subnet as the system you use
to run Remote Kick-Start, this is probably the fastest configuration method. After starting
the Remote Kick-Start utility and creating configurations, perform the following steps:
1
Select the NAS appliance you want to configure from the Discovered Dell Systems
List . If it does not appear, scroll down and click the Integrated DHCP Server check
box and wait a few seconds for the system to be assigned a temporary IP address and
discovered by Remote Kick-Start.
NOTE: You must configure the DHCP scope before using the embedded DHCP server. See
"Using the Integrated DHCP Server" in the Kick-Start online help for more information
about configuring the DHCP scope.
2
Select an existing configuration file from the list.
3
Click a NAS appliance in the Discovered Dell Systems List , and click Apply . If the
configuration was successful, the status of the NAS appliance in the
Remote
Kick-Start window changes to Configured (a check mark icon).
NOTE:
If more than one Remote Kick-Start utility runs on your network, you can reserve
the right to configure a system by locking it first. To do this, select the system in the
Discovered List
and click
Lock
.
Configuring NAS Appliances Using a Kick-Start Diskette
If the NAS appliance is not on an IP network, you might prefer to create the configuration
on a diskette. If you want to configure several NAS appliances with a single diskette, create
an ordered set of configuration files on the diskette, then you can use that diskette locally at
each system to configure it.
After starting the Remote Kick-Start utility and creating configurations, perform the
following steps on the system where you have been running Remote Kick-Start:
1
Insert your Kick-Start diskette into the diskette drive of the system where you created
your configurations.
2
Select the configurations you created and saved in the Configurations List and click
Write Diskette .
Applying Configuration Information Using a Kick-Start Diskette
After you have created configuration files on a Kick-Start diskette, you can use the diskette
to set up one or more NAS appliances. The Kick-Start utility uses an automatic reading and
loading sequence that is especially useful for setting up headless NAS appliances.
