Configuring StorageGRID Webscale connections

Before you can deploy a StorageGRID Webscale appliance as a Storage Node in a StorageGRID
Webscale grid, you must configure the connections between the appliance and the networks you plan
to use. You can configure networking by browsing to the StorageGRID Webscale Appliance Installer,
which is included on the E5700SG controller (the compute controller in the appliance).

4. Verifying network connections
Accessing the StorageGRID Webscale Appliance Installer
You must access the StorageGRID Webscale Appliance Installer to configure the connections
between the appliance and the three StorageGRID Webscale networks: the Grid Network, the Admin
Network (optional), and the Client Network (optional).
Before you begin
• You are using a supported web browser.
• The appliance is connected to all of the StorageGRID Webscale networks you plan to use.
• You know the IP address, gateway, and subnet for the appliance on these networks.
• You have configured the network switches you plan to use.
About this task
When you first access the StorageGRID Webscale Appliance Installer, you can use the DHCP-
assigned IP address for the Admin Network (assuming the appliance is connected to the Admin
Network) or the DHCP-assigned IP address for the Grid Network. Using the IP address for the
Admin Network is preferred. Otherwise, if you access the StorageGRID Webscale Appliance
Installer using the DHCP address for the Grid Network, you might lose connection with the
StorageGRID Webscale Appliance Installer when you change link settings and when you enter a
static IP.
Steps
1. Obtain the DHCP address for the appliance on the Admin Network (if it is connected) or the Grid
Network (if the Admin Network is not connected).
