To initialize a new Lenovo Storage V7000 Gen2 system, you must connect a personal
computer to the technician port on the rear of a node canister and
run the initialization tool.
You must have the following items:
- A personal computer with an Ethernet port that supports Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
- A supported browser that is installed on the personal computer
- An Ethernet cable to connect the personal computer to the technician
port
To initialize the system, complete the following steps.
- Ensure that the system is powered on.
- Configure an Ethernet port
on the personal computer to enable Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) configuration of its IP address and DNS settings.
- Locate the Ethernet port that is labeled T on the
rear of a node canister.
This is the Technician port. Connect an Ethernet cable between
the port of the personal computer that is configured in step
2 and
the technician port. A few moments after the connection is made, the
node uses DHCP to configure IP and DNS settings of the personal computer.
- After the Ethernet port of the personal computer is connected,
open a supported browser and browse to address http://install.
The browser automatically opens the initialization tool.
- Follow the instructions that are presented
by the initialization tool to configure the system with a management
IP address.
- After you complete the initialization process, disconnect
the cable between the personal computer and the technician port.
The system can now be reached by opening a supported
web browser and pointing it to http://management_IP_address.
