IBM System Storage N3700 A20 Setup
Flow control: None
Web browser
If DHCP is enabled, you can use a Telnet client for the setup. To keep the
installation simple, we skip this and continue with the console setup.
Turn on the N3700
Turn on the N3700 in the following order:
1. EXN2000 (expansion disk shelves)
2. N3700 appliance (base unit)
Setup and configuration
After the system is connected properly and turned on for the first time, the initial
setup starts with the basic filer settings. Enter the settings according to your
planning worksheets. The initial configuration must be done on
both
nodes.
Proceed with the following steps on Node A and Node B:
1. Enter your new host name:
itso-n1
See the screens shown in Figure 12 on page 15 and Figure 13 on page 16 for
more details.
The initial setup starts automatically when the system is turned on for the first
time. The basic configuration depends on which licenses are installed on your
system before shipment.
The following screen captures might vary from your environment, depending
on which licenses are installed, the Data ONTAP® software level, and the
hardware you are using. For example, if you did not obtain a CIFS license, the
CIFS setup does not appear during the initial configuration.
Tip: The default spin-up time for all disks in the appliance is 60 seconds.
Reduce this spin-up time to 20 seconds by turning on the switches of both
power supplies within 5 seconds of each other.
Note: During the setup, you are asked to continue the configuration using
the Web interface. If you select No, the setup continues using the
command line interface. If you select Yes, you can use the Web interface
through the IP address that previously displayed.
You can leave the default time zone settings and then configure the time
zone after the initial configuration.
