Chapter 7 Initial Configuration
Start the Graphical User Interface
The Pillar Axiom Storage Services Manager is a graphical user interface (GUI) to
manage the Pillar Axiom system. Access the GUI by connecting to the high-
availability IP address of the Pilot, the default of which is 10.0.0.2.
Caution
Note: In most instances, you must directly connect a workstation to the Pillar
Axiom system to set the initial IP addresses to IP addresses that will be available
on the customer network.
1 Configure a workstation with an IP address in the range of 10.0.0.5 through
10.0.0.254, a netmask of 255.255.255.0 and a default gateway of 10.0.0.1.
2 Connect to the top Pilot Control unit (CU) and attempt to ping 10.0.0.2 and
10.0.0.3. If 10.0.0.3 responds to the ping, but 10.0.0.2 does not respond to
the ping, connect to the bottom Pilot CU and attempt to ping 10.0.0.2 and
10.0.0.4. If neither Pilot CU responds to 10.0.0.2, contact the Pillar World
Wide Customer Support Center for assistance.
3 Download and install the GUI client for Windows, Linux, and Macintosh by
typing http://10.0.0.2 on your web browser and select Applications from the
Pillar Axiom software login screen.
4 Launch the Pillar Axiom Storage Services Manager application.
Result:
