Procedure
1. Locate the technician ports, as shown in the following figure:
Figure 83. Technician ports
1
Node canister 1 technician port
2
Node canister 2 technician port
2. Configure an Ethernet port on the personal computer to enable Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) configuration of its IP address and DNS settings.
If you do not have DHCP, you must manually configure the personal computer. Specify the static IPv4
address 192.168.0.2, subnet mask 255.255.255.0, gateway 192.168.0.1, and DNS
192.168.0.1.
3. Connect an Ethernet cable between the port of the personal computer that is configured in step "2" on
page 74 and the technician port.
After the connection is made, the system will automatically configure the IP and DNS settings for the
personal computer if DHCP is available. If it is not available, the system uses the values that you
provided in step "2" on page 74.
4. After the Ethernet port of the personal computer is connected, open a supported browser and browse
to address http://service. (If you do not have DCHP, open a supported browser and go to the
following static IP address 192.168.0.1.)
The browser is automatically directed to the initialization tool.
Note: If the system cannot be initialized, you are directed to the service assistant interface.
5. If the node canisters communicate with each other by using RDMA over Ethernet, then browse to
address http://service and press the wrench icon on the initialization page to access the Service
Assistant Tool. Use the Change node IP tab of the Service Assistant Tool to configure the node IP
settings for the node as provided by the customer on the worksheet. Repeat this step for each node
canister that is in the system.
6. Using the initialization GUI, enter the requested information by using the worksheets that you created
during the planning phase, including the management IP address and service IP addresses.
Completing the initial system setup (customer task)
After the service setup of the new system is complete, use the management GUI to do the initial system
setup.
Before you begin
Have the following information on hand:
• The management IP address of the system
• Licensed key information
• The worksheets that were completed during the system planning process
