Setting Up The Controller Defaults - IBM TotalStorage DS300 Quick Installation Manual

Important: If you want to use the IBM ServeRAID
storage subsystem, make sure that an Ethernet cable is connected to the management port on each
controller.
7. Turn on the storage subsystem (see "Turning the storage subsystem on and off" in Chapter 9 of the
Hardware Installation and User's Guide for instructions).

Setting up the controller defaults

To set up the RAID controller defaults, complete the following steps:
1. After turning on the storage subsystem, wait until the green controller ready LED is lit; then, from a
management station, open a Telnet session to IP address 192.168.70.123. For the location and a
description of the LED, see the storage subsystem rear view section in Chapter 4 (for DS300) or
Chapter 8 (for DS400) of the Hardware Installation and User's Guide.
2. Change to administrator mode by typing administrator, admin, or ad and pressing Enter.
3. When prompted for a password, enter passw0rd (all lowercase letters with a zero, not O, in passw0rd).
4. For Controller A only: At the DS300 or DS400 prompt, enter setup.
The Setup wizard prompts you to enter the values for the parameters that are required to configure
the system to connect to a local network. You can also use the three commands that are described in
the following table.

unchanged. Press Enter twice to not require an administrator password.
