To initialize a Lenovo Storage V7000 Gen1 system using the service
assistant rather than the USB flash drive, use this procedure.
Note: The service assistant gives you the option to create
a clustered system only if the node state is candidate.
To initialize a clustered system using the service assistant,
complete the following steps.
- Point your web browser
to the service assistant address of a node canister.
It is best to use the node canister in slot 1; when viewed
from the rear of the control enclosure, the left node canister. The
default service address for this canister is 192.168.70.121/service.
- Log on with the superuser password.
- Select Manage System.
- Enter the system name and the management IP address.
- Click Create System.
- Point a supported browser to the management
IP address that you specified to start the management GUI.
The management GUI logon panel is displayed.
- Log on as superuser.
Use passw0rd for the password.
- Follow the on-screen instructions.
Attention: Without a USB flash drive to service the system, it is not possible to reset the superuser
password or to change the system IP addresses in the event of a fault
that prevents access to the management interface. It is essential
that you take steps to record this information for use in the event
of a failure.
