Setting Up The Network - IBM TotalStorage NAS 300 User Reference

Setting up the network

Note: All appliances have an initial default user name of "Administrator" and
As part of the Network task group, you can change the administrator password and
(optionally) you can configure the properties of each network interface that resides
on the appliance.
To change the administrator password, click Change Administrator Password.
The Change Administrator Password page appears, allowing you to change the
password. Note the warning on the page that any information that 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 change IP addresses, click Interfaces. The Network Adapters on Server
Appliance page appears. Use this page primarily to change IP addresses from
dynamic (DHCP, which is the system default) to static.
Note: During the initial setup, you should configure the nonplanar Ethernet adapter
You must modify the adapter by completing the IP task (to modify IP configurations)
and then choosing one or more of the following tasks, as appropriate:
v DNS (to modify DNS configurations)
v WINS (to modify WINS configurations)
v HOSTS (to modify host configurations)

only. The NAS Gateway 300 engine uses the Ethernet adapter that is
integrated on the planar board as the interconnect private network for
clustering.
If you want to use an Ethernet adapter other than the default Ethernet
adapter (in slot 2) as the network interface to be attached to the subnet, then
you can change the order of precedence later with the Windows Networking
Properties option. The order of precedence for the initial configuration is: PCI
slot 2, then PCI slot 3.
Note that you might need to enable some of the NAS Gateway 300 NIC
connections, because the NICs in slots 1, 3, and 4 are not enabled. During
initial setup, the IAACU first looks for a 10/100 adapter in slot 2, which is
enabled by default. If there is no adapter in slot 2, the IAACU looks for a
Gigabit adapter card in slot 3 and it should be enabled. If the Gigabit adapter
card is not enabled, right-click the adapter icon to enable it. After the initial
setup, you can then enable all other NIC interfaces installed.
