Direct your browser to the system using either the IP address or host name you assigned to the NET-0 port during initial conguration as follows: https://ipaddress:215 or https://hostname:215. The login screen appears.

The online help linked in the top right of the BUI is context-sensitive. For every top-level and second-level screen in the BUI, the associated help page appears when you click the Help button.

Command Line Interface (CLI)

The CLI is designed to mirror the capabilities of the BUI, while also providing a powerful scripting environment for performing repetitive tasks. The following sections describe details of the CLI. When navigating through the CLI, there are two principles to be aware of:

■

Tab completion is used extensively: if you are not sure what to type in any given context, pressing the Tab key will provide you with possible options. Throughout the documentation, pressing Tab is presented as the word "tab" in bold italics.

■

Help is always available: the help command provides context-specic help. Help on a particular topic is available by specifying the topic as an argument to help, for example help commands. Available topics are displayed by tab-completing the help command, or by typing help topics.

You can combine these two principles, as follows:

dory:> help tab builtins commands general help properties script

In rare cases, faults associated with uncorrectable CPU errors are not diagnosable or displayed in the controller. These faults will be preserved by and observable on the ILOM. Connect to the server ILOM (Service Processor) on the server platform to diagnose hardware faults that do not appear in the BUI.

In a cluster environment, an ILOM connection should be made to each controller.

The server ILOM provides options for (i) network and (ii) serial port connectivity. Network connection is the preferred choice, as the ILOM serial port does not always allow adequate means of platform data collection.

WARNING : Failure to congure ILOM connectivity may lead to longer than necessary hardware fault diagnosis and resolution times.

Powering On the Appliance

You can access the system by connecting an administrative client to the serial management port on the controller. Alternatively, if there is a Dynamic Host Conguration Protocol (DHCP) server on the network, you can access the system by connecting the network management port to your network.

Note that if you are installing a cluster, congure only one controller initially. The software propagates the conguration to the peer controller during cluster initialization. After the cluster is initialized, you can administer the system from either storage controller. However, do not attempt initial conguration on both controllers independently. Refer to the Cluster documentation in the System Administration Guide located on

http://wikis.sun.com/display/

shworks (http://wikis.sun.com/display/fishworks)

for more information.

To perform initial congurationusing serial, connect a serial cable from the SER MGT port onthe back panel of the controllerto the serial port on the administrative client. Use a DB9 to RJ45 adapter if necessary.

To perform initial congurationusing Ethernet, connect an Ethernet cable from the NET MGT port on the back panel of the controller to your network.

Connect an Ethernet cable fromyour network tothe NET0 port on the back panel of the controller.

For 7120, 7320 and 7420, poweron any disk shelves attached to the storage system by plugging the two powercords into the universal power connectors, connecting the cordsto the external power source and turning on the disk shelf power switches. Wait several minutes until the power indicators are lit a steadygreen.

For 7700/7720, ensure that the circuit breakers are in the OFF position before connecting the six power cords for the storage rack to wall sockets that are controlled by individual circuit breakers. Connect three of the circuit breakers to one power source, and connect the remaining three to a dierent power source. This is required to maintain power protection through redundant power sources. See

Cabinet Electrical Specications.

For 7120, 7320 and 7420, connect power cables to power supply 0 and powersupply 1 on the storage controller(s) and wait until the Power/OK LED on the front panel next tothe Power button lights and remains lit (approximatelytwo minutes).

For 7700/7720, switch all of the wall circuit breakers to the ON position. Wait until the Power/OK LEDs light and remain lit.

Open a terminal window or terminal emulator and issue the appropriatecommand, as follows:

For a serial port concentrator connect (for example, using telnet), and use root as the user name and replace serial-concentrator portnumber with the appropriate value, for example: telnet

serial-concentrator portnumber

For a network connection, connect using SSH anduse root as the username and determine the IP address by accessing your DHCP server forthe address assigned to the Service Processor MAC address (see the label on the storage controller), for example: ssh root@192.168.128.256

Initial Conguration

Sun ZFS Storage 7x20 Appliance InstallationGuide • November 201094

Initial

Initial Conguration

The initial conguration consists of six conguration steps.

1. Network

2. DNS

3. Time

4. Name Services (NIS, LDAP, Active Directory)

5. Storage

6. Registration & Support

Prerequisites

The initial conguration of the system is conducted after powering it on for the rst time and establishing a connection, as documented in the

Installation section, also available as a PDF on http://wikis.sun.com/display/shworks/Documentation. (http://wikis.sun.com/display/ fishworks/Documentation.)

Note that the option to perform initial conguration of a cluster is only available in the BUI. If electing this option, read the clustering documentation included in the Sun ZFS Storage 7000 Administration Guide at

http://wikis.sun.com/display/shworks (http://wikis.sun.com/ display/fishworks) before beginning initial conguration for detailed additional steps that

are required for successful cluster setup. Pay careful attention to the Clustering Considerations for Networking section. Alternatively, cluster-capable appliances may be initially congured for standalone operation using the following procedure, and re-congured for cluster operation at a later time.

Summary

This procedure will congure networking connectivity, several client network services, and the layout of the storage pool for standalone operation. When completed, the appliance is ready for use - but will not have any shares congured for remote clients to access. To create shares or revisit settings, refer to the Shares and Conguration sections of the Sun ZFS Storage 7000 System Administration Guide on

http://wikis.sun.com/display/shworks.

(http://wikis.sun.com/display/fishworks.)

This procedure may be repeated at a later time by clicking the "INITIAL SETUP" button on the Maintenance > System screen or by entering the maintenance system setup context in the CLI.

Initial

Chapter 4 • Powering On and Conguring the System 95

BUI

The BUI initial conguration is the preferred method and provides a screen for each of the initial conguration steps.

Click Start to begin basic conguration of network, time directory and support services. Click Commit to save the conguration and go to the next screen. Arrows beneath the Commit button can be used to revisit previous steps, and change the conguration if desired.

Conguring Management Port

All standalone controllers should have at least one NIC port congured as a management interface. Select the Allow Admin option in the BUI to enable BUI connections on port 215 and CLI connections on ssh port 22.

All cluster installations should have at least one NIC port on each controller congured as a management interface as described above. In addition, the NIC instance number must be unique on each controller.

CLI

Alternatively, use the CLI to step through the initial conguration sections. Each step begins by printing its help, which can be reprinted by typing help. Use the done command to complete each step.
