NetApp StorageGRID SG6000 Manual page 48

• The client or service laptop has a supported web browser.
• The SG6000-CN controller is connected to all of the StorageGRID networks you plan to use.
• You know the IP address, gateway, and subnet for the SG6000-CN controller on these networks.
• You have configured the network switches you plan to use.
About this task
To initially access the StorageGRID Appliance Installer, you can use the DHCP-assigned IP address for the
Admin Network port on the SG6000-CN controller (assuming the controller is connected to the Admin
Network), or you can connect a service laptop directly to the SG6000-CN controller.
Steps
1. If possible, use the DHCP address for the Admin Network port on the SG6000-CN controller to access the
StorageGRID Appliance Installer.
a. Locate the MAC address label on the front of the SG6000-CN controller, and determine the MAC
address for the Admin Network port.
The MAC address label lists the MAC address for the BMC management port.
To determine the MAC address for the Admin Network port, you must add 2 to the hexadecimal number
on the label. For example, if the MAC address on the label ends in 09, the MAC address for the Admin
Port would end in 0B. If the MAC address on the label ends in (y)FF, the MAC address for the Admin
Port would end in (y+1)01. You can easily make this calculation by opening Calculator in Windows,
setting it to Programmer mode, selecting Hex, typing the MAC address, then typing + 2 =.
b. Provide the MAC address to your network administrator, so they can look up the DHCP address for the
appliance on the Admin Network.
c. From the client, enter this URL for the StorageGRID Appliance Installer:
https://Appliance_Controller_IP:8443
For SG6000-CN_Controller_IP, use the DHCP address.
d. If you are prompted with a security alert, view and install the certificate using the browser's installation
wizard.
The alert will not appear the next time you access this URL.
The StorageGRID Appliance Installer Home page appears. The information and messages shown
when you first access this page depend on how your appliance is currently connected to StorageGRID
networks. Error messages might appear that will be resolved in later steps.
