Task 3: Configuring the VTrak Appliance

VTrak appliance configuration is done through the PROMISE Management
Console over a network connection. This process takes about 15 minutes.
When you add the VTrak appliance to your network, be sure the Host PC, where
you plan to run the Management Console, can connect with the VTrak appliance
over the network.
Before you begin configuration, obtain four dedicated IP addresses from your
Network Administrator:
• Ethernet port 0 (eth0)
• IPMI LAN
• Heartbeat
• Health Monitor

1. Plug the power cords into power supplies.
2. Attach at least one active LAN cable to one of the network ports.
