Network Setup

Note: All appliances have an initial default User Name of "administrator" and
In the Network Setup task group, you are required to change the administrator
password. Optionally, you can configure the properties of each network interface
that resides on the appliance.
To change the administrator password, click on Change Administrator Password
or the green arrow. The Change Administrator Password page appears to allow you
to change the password. Note the warning on the page that any information 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 optionally change interface properties such as IP addresses, click on Interfaces
or the green arrow. The Network Adapters on Server Appliance page appears. You
would use this page primarily to change IP addresses from dynamic (DHCP, which
is the system default) to static.
You can then select the network adapter you want to modify, and then choose one
of the following tasks related to that adapter:
v IP, to modify IP configurations
v DNS, to modify DNS configurations
v WINS, to modify WINS configurations

Disks and Volumes

In the Disks and Volumes task group, you can optionally repartition the user data

Doing so could wipe out important data and seriously impair the functioning of your
system. Repartitioning is advised ONLY for the user data drive.
The user data drive is not established when you first bring up the system. You will
need to get the MAC address of the Fibre Channel card to set up an association
between the appliance and the external storage located on the storage area
network (SAN). To get the MAC address, you need to go into Terminal Services. For
information on how to access Terminal Services, see "Connecting to Terminal
Services" on page 18. After connecting to Terminal Services, you need to click on
the IBM NAS Admin icon. Next, select NAS Management, then Storage, then
NAS Utilities and finally, FastT Check. For additional information on FastT Check,
please see "FastT Check" on page 25.
