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
ActiveX
–Systems running Linux can use Java Runtime Environment (JRE)
and a supported browser
•For the
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.

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) —
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.

16Connecting to the PowerVault NX1950 Storage System Initially
Page 19
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.

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
Identify the interface(s) that are displayed as
2
3
Set the IP address for the desired interface by typing the following:
Connected
.
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".
