Initialize the Storwize V7000 Unified software, using the USB flash drive (total time
80 minutes)
First, Initialize the Storwise V7000 storage control
enclosure
Both the upper node canister and the lower node
canister of the Storwize V7000 storage control enclosure
should have a solid green light and a blinking green
light before continuing, consult the online Information
Center if the system is not ready after 10 minutes.
Insert the USB flash drive which was prepared earlier
into the upper node canister. The upper node canister
will show 2 solid green lights and an amber light, after
1-2 minutes and once the amber light turns off, remove
the USB flash drive.
Second, Initialize the Storwise V7000 Unified file
modules
Both of the Storwize V7000 Unified file modules should
have a blinking blue light before continuing. Ensure
there are no disks in the DVD drives before continuing.
Insert the USB flash drive into one of the file modules,
the blue blinking light on that file module will go solid.
Wait 1-2 minutes then open a Web browser and navigate
to the Storwize V7000 Unified management IP:
This initialization can take up to 75 minutes.

ifs00062
Place the USB flash drive in the laptop, it should contain
the files NAS.ppk and satask_result.html among others.
Consult the online Information Center if they are
missing.
Configure the Storwize V7000 Unified software, SAN block storage (total time 5
minutes)
1. Navigate to the Storwize V7000 Unified management
IP with a Web browser.
3. Next, configure the system attributes, enter the System
name, NetBIOS name, and Time Zone: The NetBIOS
name is what the NAS client sees when using
CIFS/SMB/Windows shares.
2. Login with the default admin password of admin.
Then read and accept the license agreement.
4. Now, verify hardware, ensure all the storage hardware
has been detected. Configure storage by selecting
Automatically configure internal storage and then click
Finish.
IBM®Storwize V7000 Unified Model 2073-720 Quick Start Guide 3
Configure the Storwize V7000 Unified software, NAS file storage (total time 40
minutes)
1. Select NAS File Services, enter NTP and DNS
information.
3. From Public Networks, select New Network and
enter the details collected earlier.
2. Select a user authentication method, consult the
Information Center to choose an appropriate
authentication method, if unsure choose Local
Authentication. This authentication is used for the NAS
connectivity only.
The system supports the following authentication
services:
v Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
v SAMBA Primary Domain Controller (PDC)
v Active Directory Server (ADS)
v Active Directory (AD) with Microsoft Windows
Services for UNIX (SFU)
v Network Information Service (NIS)
v Local Authentication
4. The system is now ready for file services. It reboots
both Storwize V7000 Unified file modules This can take
up to 30 minutes, during that time the GUI is
inaccessible.
Change the default login details and check the health status of the system
Note: The following section requires an SSH client, an example of this is Putty for Windows.
First ssh to the Storwize V7000 Unified management IP
using port 22. Log in with user ID admin and password
admin.
v Issue command svctask chuser -password
superuser_password superuser, where
superuser_password is the new superuser password
that you want to use. The password must be a
minimum of 6 characters.
v Change the default root password for the management
node. Issue command chrootpwd and follow the
prompts to change the password. The password must
be a minimum of 5 characters.
v Change the default admin password for the
management node. Issue command chuser admin -p
new_password where new_password is the new
password that you want to use. The password must be
a minimum of 8 characters.
Check the system health by sshing to the Storwize V7000
Unified management IP using port 22. Log in with user
ID admin.
v Issue the command lshealth, all statuses must report as
OK
v Issue the command chkauth, it must report successful
v Issue the command chkauth –ping, it must report
successful (if not using local auth)

Create a new NAS file system and create a NAS Share
Note: The following section requires an SSH client, an example of this is Putty for Windows.
Create a NAS file system by sshing to the Storwize
V7000 Unified management IP using port 22. Log in with
user ID admin
v Choose a storage pool to locate the new file system,
they are listed with the command lsmdiskgrp
v Create a file system with the command mkfs. It must
be a minimum of 100 GB. Example: mkfs nasfs1
–createdisks 100GB,mdiskgrp0,N=10 This creates a 1
TB file system named nasfs1 utilizing 10x 100 GB
virtual disks on the SAN.
Create a NAS Share by sshing to the Storwize V7000
Unified management IP using port 22. Log in with user
ID admin
v Choose a file system to share, list the files systems
with the command lsfs
v Create a new share with the command mkexport
Example: mkexport nasfs1 /ibm/nasfs1 –nfs –owner root
This creates a NFS export of the file system nasfs1 which
is owned by the user root.
