Configuring StorageGRID connections

Before you can deploy the services appliance as a node in a StorageGRID system, you must
configure the connections between the appliance and the networks you plan to use. You can configure
networking by browsing to the StorageGRID Appliance Installer, which is pre-installed on the
SG1000.
Steps
1.

Accessing the StorageGRID Appliance Installer

2. Configuring network links
3. Configuring StorageGRID IP addresses
4. Verifying network connections
5. Verifying port-level network connections
Accessing the StorageGRID Appliance Installer
You must access the StorageGRID Appliance Installer to configure the connections between the
appliance and the three StorageGRID networks: the Grid Network, the Admin Network (optional),
and the Client Network (optional).
Before you begin
• You are using any management client that can connect to the StorageGRID Admin Network, or
you have a service laptop.
• The client or service laptop has a supported web browser.
• The SG1000 is connected to all of the StorageGRID networks you plan to use.
• You know the IP address, gateway, and subnet for the SG1000 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 SG1000 (assuming the controller is connected to the Admin
Network), or you can connect a service laptop directly to the SG1000.
Steps
1. If possible, use the DHCP address for the Admin Network port on the SG1000 to access the
StorageGRID Appliance Installer.
a. Locate the MAC address label on the front of the SG1000, and determine the MAC address
for the Admin Network port.
The MAC address label lists the MAC address for the BMC management port.
