Powering On and Configuring the Appliance This section provides instructions for configuring the primary network interface using the preinstalled Sun ZFS Storage 7000 command line interface (CLI). After you configure the primary interface, configure the remaining system parameters using the browser user interface (BUI) from any client on the same network.
However, do not attempt initial configuration on both controllers independently. Refer to the Cluster documentation in the System Administration Guide located on http://wikis.sun.com/display/ fishworks (http://wikis.sun.com/display/fishworks) for more information.

Power To perform initial configuration using serial, connect a serial cable from the SER MGT port on the back panel of the controller to the serial port on the administrative client. Use a DB9 to RJ45 adapter if necessary. To perform initial configuration using Ethernet, connect an Ethernet cable from the NET MGT port on the back panel of the controller to your network.
To begin configuring the system, click Start on the Welcome screen. You are guided through the Initial Configuration of the remaining network interfaces, DNS, time settings, directory service and storage. Next Steps Initial Configuration ■ Sun ZFS Storage 7x20 Appliance Installation Guide • November 2010...
When completed, the appliance is ready for use - but will not have any shares configured for remote clients to access. To create shares or revisit settings, refer to the Shares and Configuration sections of the Sun ZFS Storage 7000 System Administration Guide on http://wikis.sun.com/display/fishworks.
Alternatively, use the CLI to step through the initial configuration sections. Each step begins by printing its help, which can be reprinted by typing help. Use the done command to complete each step. Sun ZFS Storage 7x20 Appliance Installation Guide • November 2010...
