Run the configuration wizard

The Isilon configuration wizard starts automatically when a new node is powered on. The
wizard provides step-by-step guidance for configuring a new cluster or adding a new
node to an existing cluster.

The following procedure assumes that there is an open serial connection to a new node.

Note

You can type 

back

 at most prompts to return to the previous step in the wizard.

Procedure

1. Depending on whether you are creating a new cluster, joining a node to an existing

cluster, or preparing a node to run in SmartLock compliance mode, choose one of the
following options:

l

To create a new cluster, type 

1

.

l

To join the node to an existing cluster, type 

2

.

l

To exit the wizard and configure the node manually, type 

3

.

l

To restart the node in SmartLock compliance mode, type 

4

.

CAUTION

If you choose to restart the node in SmartLock compliance mode, the node
restarts and returns to this step. Selection 4 changes to enable you to disable
SmartLock compliance mode. This is the last opportunity to back out of
compliance mode without reformatting the node.

2. Follow the prompts to configure the node.

For new clusters, the following table lists the information necessary to configure the
cluster. To make sure the installation process is not interrupted, we recommend that
you collect this information prior to installation.
