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.
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. Sun ZFS Storage 7120, 7320, and 7420 Appliance Installation Guide • December 2012 E38245–01...

For 7120, 7320 and 7420, connect power cables to power supply 0 and power supply 1 on the storage controller(s) and wait until the Power/OK LED on the front panel next to the Power button lights and remains lit (approximately two minutes).
Initial Initial Configuration The initial configuration consists of six configuration steps. 1. Network 2. DNS 3. Time 4. Name Services (NIS, LDAP, Active Directory) 5. Storage Sun ZFS Storage 7120, 7320, and 7420 Appliance Installation Guide • December 2012 E38245–01...
Initial 6. Registration & Support Prerequisites The initial configuration of the system is conducted after powering it on for the first time and establishing a connection, as documented in the Installation section. Note that the option to perform initial configuration of a cluster is only available in the BUI. If electing this option, read the clustering documentation before beginning initial configuration for detailed additional steps that are required for successful cluster setup.
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 7120, 7320, and 7420 Appliance Installation Guide • December 2012 E38245–01...
