Connecting to the PowerVault

NX1950 Storage System Initially

After cabling your system, Dell™ recommends that you establish network

connectivity to access the Dell PowerVault™ NX1950 storage system using

one of the following methods:

• To access and manage the system remotely through the network, you

must configure a static IP address on your PowerVault NX1950 storage

solution. After configuring your network, you can use one of the following

options to manage the system from a client system:

– The remote desktop functionality

– Microsoft

®

Internet Explorer

®

or Remote RDP Client Microsoft

ActiveX

®

Control

– Systems running Linux can use Java Runtime Environment (JRE)

and a supported browser

• For the

integrated solution

, you can manage the system locally by

connecting to the system using a keyboard, video, and mouse. If you

intend to manage your system locally, see "Completing the

Configuration" on page 23 for information about the configuring your

system.

NOTE: Dell recommends that you configure the iSCSI traffic and public network

traffic on separate networks.

16 Connecting to the PowerVault NX1950 Storage System Initially

Configuring the IP Address

For setting up the IP address on the PowerVault NX1950 storage solution,

use one of the following methods:

• Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) —

If the PowerVault

NX1950 storage solution is connected to a DHCP-enabled network,

then the network address is set automatically by the DHCP server.

NOTE: Although DHCP can be used to set the initial network addresses,

Dell recommends that you configure the network connections using static

IP addresses.

• Use special administration console (SAC) if you want to configure a

static IP address using a direct serial connection to the serial port of the

PowerVault NX1950 storage system. The following section provides

instructions on using SAC and setting up the IP addresses.

Using the Special Administration Console

NOTE: To use SAC, you require a female-to-female serial console cable

to connect directly from a client system to the PowerVault NX1950 storage

system’s serial port as shown in Figure 3-1.

Figure 3-1. Use the Console Cable to Connect to the SAC Prompt

NOTE: Ensure that the terminal emulation software settings on the client

system are set to 115200 baud, 8 data bits, No parity, 1 stop bit.

Connecting to the PowerVault NX1950 Storage System Initially 17

In an environment that does not support DHCP, you can use CLI support

in SAC to connect through a serial port to a system running Microsoft

Windows

®

Unified Data Storage Server 2003 and configure network

settings. After you configure the network using SAC, you can remotely

access the graphical user interface (GUI) to configure and manage

Windows Unified Data Storage Server using the IP address. To do this,

you need to:

1

Access the SAC command prompt

2

Configure the system’s IP addresses and the Domain Name System (DNS)

Accessing the SAC Command Prompt

SAC is the primary emergency management system (EMS) CLI

environment hosted by Windows Unified Data Storage Server 2003

operating systems. It is separate from the CLI environment and provides

different functionality.

SAC is available immediately after you turn on the system. You can use

SAC to manage the server during normal system operation and to

configure most of the Windows Unified Data Storage Server 2003

operating system components. You can also use SAC when the system is in

Safe Mode and during GUI-mode setup. When EMS is enabled, the SAC

remains active as long as the kernel is running.

You can access SAC using a serial cable between the storage server and

a portable system, through a terminal emulation program such as

HyperTerminal.

NOTE: To access EMS remotely, ensure that you are using compatible client

software for terminal emulation. For more information, see "Selecting client

terminal software for Emergency Management Services" on the Microsoft

website at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=66418.

To access the SAC command prompt:

1

Start the terminal emulation program and connect to the serial port.

2

Turn on the PowerVault NX1950 storage system.

3

After EMS starts, at the SAC prompt, type

cmd

and press <Enter>

to create a command prompt window.

18 Connecting to the PowerVault NX1950 Storage System Initially

4

To switch the channel window to view the output of the command

prompt, type

ch -sn cmd0001

and press <Enter>.

5

Log on as

Administrator

.

NOTE: The default password for your system is storageserver.

For more information about using SAC, see "Using Emergency

Management Services" on the Microsoft website at

http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=66415 or see Windows Unified

Data Storage Server 2003 Help.

Configuring IP Addresses and DNS

After connecting to the SAC command prompt, you can use netsh to

configure network addresses, default gateways, and DNS for a storage

server, after which you can connect remotely to the server and use the GUI

to complete other initial configuration and other management tasks.

To set the static IP address you must know the IP address, subnet mask,

and gateway address.

1

Obtain the list of available interfaces by typing the following:

netsh interface ip show interface

2

Identify the interface(s) that are displayed as

Connected

.

3

Set the IP address for the desired interface by typing the following:

netsh interface ip set address name=<interface>

source=static addr=IP address mask=

<subnet mask> gateway=<gateway address>

4

Set the DNS address by typing the following:

netsh interface ip set dns name=<interface>

source=static addr=<dns address>

NOTE: If you are using an interface name that includes spaces, place the text

in quotation marks. For example, "local area connection".

For more information about the netsh command, see "Scripting Tools" on

the Microsoft website at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=66414

or see the Windows Unified Data Storage Server 2003 Help.
