Standalone Mode - SimpliVity OmniStack Quick Start

Standalone Mode

First complete Tasks 1 - 3 on the front of this Quick
continue to Task 4, below, to set up a UCS C240 M4SX system
in Standalone Mode using Cisco Integrated Management Controller
(CIMC). Refer to this document, available from the Support Portal:
OmniStack™ Integrated Solution with Cisco UCS C240 M4SX
Hardware Installation and Maintenance Guide
Task 4: Connect the Network Cables
Use the two 10GbE mLOM network interfaces (1) and the two
1GbE network interfaces (2). See Network Cabling Examples to
the right.
A separate 1GbE network interface (see Task 5) enables remote
management.
Note: For switched network configurations, connect both 10GbE
network interfaces to redundant switches. Use VLANs to
separate the networks.
Task 5: Configure CIMC
Connect a Cat5 Ethernet cable between the CIMC port and a
switch in your server administration network.
1. Plug in the KVM adapter and connect a KVM.
2. Power on the system.
3. Press F8 to start the CIMC Configuration Utility.
4. Configure the following options:
- Enable Dedicated NIC mode.
- Disable NIC redundancy (check None).
- Enter a static IP address for the CIMC IP.
- Enter a Subnetmask.
- Enter an IP address for the gateway.
5. Press F10 then Esc to save and exit.
The boot process continues automatically.

Direct-Connected Configuration
Use redundant, 10GbE direct connections between two
systems for the Storage and Federation networks, and
redundant 1GbE connections to switches for the
Management network.
Start, then
Switch-Connected Configuration
Use redundant connections to 10GbE switches for the
Storage and Federation networks, and redundant
connections to 1GbE switches for the Management
network.
