Setting The Date And Time; Setting Up The Network - IBM totalstorage 326 User Reference

Although you can modify multiple appliance and network attributes in each task
group, the information given here is the minimum you need to know to administer
the appliance and network.
You can find more information on administration elsewhere in this book and in the
online help.
You can access these task groups in one of three ways:
1. Click the Home tab and then select the task group link.
2. Click the top tab associated with that task group.
3. Click the Back button on the browser until you arrive Home and then select the

Setting the date and time

To change the date and time, click Date and Time. (Remember that you can also
access all of these task groups by clicking the titled tabs at the top of the page.)
The Set Date and Time page appears, allowing you to adjust information as
necessary.

Setting up the network

Note: All appliances have an initial default user name of "administrator" and
As part of the Network task group, you can change the administrator password and
(optionally) you can configure the properties of each network interface that resides
on the appliance.
To change the administrator password, click Change Administrator Password.
The Change Administrator Password page appears, allowing you to change the
password. Note the warning on the page that any information that you enter can be
viewed by others on the network. To prevent others from seeing your information,
set up a secure administration Web site as described in the online help.
To change IP addresses, click on Interfaces. The Network Adapters on Server
Appliance page appears. Use this page primarily to change IP addresses from
dynamic (DHCP, which is the system default) to static.

only. The Model 326 engine uses the Ethernet adapter that is integrated on
the planar board as the interconnect private network for clustering.
If you want to use an Ethernet adapter other than the default Ethernet
adapter (in slot 2) as the network interface to be attached to the subnet, then
you can change the order of precedence later with the Windows Networking
Properties option. The order of precedence for the initial configuration is: PCI
slot 2, then PCI slot 3.
Note that you might need to enable some of the Model 326 NIC connections,
because the NICs in slots 1, 3, and 4 are not enabled. During initial setup,
the IAACU first looks for a 10/100 adapter in slot 2, which is enabled by
default. If there is no adapter in slot 2, the IAACU looks for a Gigabit adapter
card in slot 3 and it should be enabled. If the Gigabit adapter card is not
