Connecting To The Storage System; Configuring The Ip Address - Dell PowerVault NX1950 Guia De Instalacion

Connecting to the Storage System

Dell recommends that you establish network connectivity to access the
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. To configure networking, connect to the system through the
serial console and manually configure a static IP address. After
configuring your network, you can use one of the following options
to manage the system from a client system:
– The remote desktop functionality
– Internet Explorer or Remote RDP Client ActiveX
– Systems running Linux can use Java Runtime Environment (JRE)
and a supported browser
• You can manage the system locally by connecting to the system using
a keyboard, video, and mouse. If you intend to manage your system
locally, see "PowerVault NX1950 Initial Configuration Tasks Wizard"
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)—If the PowerVault NX1950
storage solution is connected to a DHCP-enabled network, then the
network address will be 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 when you are completing the tasks in the "Completing the
Configuration" section.
• Use 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.
