About this task
There are two methods that can be used for the setting up your IBM Flex System
V7000 Storage Node for the first time. The method you choose depends upon the
configuration of your IBM Flex System.
v
If your IBM Flex System does not have an installed and configured IBM Flex
System Manager, go to “Using the Chassis Management Module to set up your
system.”
v
If your IBM Flex System has an installed and configured IBM Flex System
Manager, go to “Using the IBM Flex System Manager to set up your system” on
page 27.
Using the Chassis Management Module to set up your system
When the first control enclosure for a new IBM Flex System V7000 is installed in
the Flex System chassis, you must create and configure a system. This procedure is
used to guide you through the necessary steps using the Chassis Management
Module (CMM).
Before you begin
Attention:
If the control enclosure you have installed is being added to an
existing clustered system, do not use this procedure. Go to “Adding another
control enclosure into an existing system” on page 29.
v
Your IBM Flex System V7000 storage nodes have access to the DHCP server and
there are at least two DHCP addresses available on your subnet. These are the
addresses that will be used in the initial installation. If DHCP addresses are
unavailable, the node will use a default service IP address based on the slot
location. This can be changed to a static address using the CMM Component IP
Configuration page.
v
When a new control enclosure is installed in the IBM Flex System chassis, the
CMM automatically recognizes the new hardware.
Procedure
1.
Log in to the CMM and navigate to the chassis map. In the chassis map
displayed by the CMM, you will see all the IBM Flex System V7000 control
enclosures and expansion enclosures installed in the chassis.
2.
If you have installed more than one IBM Flex System V7000 control enclosure,
choose a control enclosure to be used to initialize the system. It doesn't matter
which control enclosure you choose. You cannot initialize the system on an
expansion enclosure.
3.
Select the
Actions menu
. The Action menu can be found by right-clicking on
the left canister in the graphical representation of the storage node.
4.
From the
Actions for Canister [node nn]
select
Launch Storage Node
Controller Console
. A browser window displays the IBM Flex System V7000
system startup screen. The Service IP address displayed will be one that has
been allocated by your DHCP server.
v
If a default Service IP address in the range between 192.168.70.131 and
192.168.70.144 is displayed, the canister has not obtained a DHCP address.
This default service IP address can be changed to a static address using the
CMM Component IP Configuration page. Refer to the Changing the service
IP address of a node canister topic in the
IBM Flex System V7000 Storage
Node Troubleshooting, Recovery, and Maintenance Guide
PDF on the CD or in
the IBM Flex System V7000 Information Center.
