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://SG6000-CN_Controller_IP:8443
For
SG6000-CN_Controller_IP
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.
