Setting Up the DX Object Storage
Platform
Installing the Initial Cluster or Redundant Cluster
Services Node
The Dell DX Object Storage Platform consists of at least one DX Cluster
Services Node and two DX Storage Nodes. Installation of the initial cluster or
additional cluster services nodes require deployment services from Dell. For
information about setting up the hardware, see the Getting Started Guide for
your Dell DX6a00 system at support.dell.com/manuals, and the Dell
DX6axyS system that shipped with your storage platform.

Configuring the DX Object Storage Platform

Dell DX Object Storage Platform includes a Cluster Services Node to enable
a centralized management interface for the DX Cluster. Default settings are
defined and recommended for system operation. However, there are a number
of configuration options which may be used to configure the storage platform
which are as follows:
• Reset administrator and operator passwords for the DX Cluster Services
console
• Default object replication parameters
• Cluster name
• Port number for management console and other services
• IP parameters
• Logging options
• SNMP options
• Setting persistent cluster settings
• Storing configuration files
