IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node Introduction and Implementation Guide

There are two methods that can be used for the initial setup of the IBM Flex System V7000 
Storage Node. The method used depends upon the configuration of the IBM Flex System.

��

If the IBM Flex System has an installed and configured IBM Flex System Manager, then it 
should be used to set up the IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node.

��

If the IBM Flex System does not have an IBM Flex System Manager (FSM) installed and 
configured, use the Chassis Management Module to set up the IBM Flex System V7000 
Storage Node.

��

You should have installed the IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node enclosures in the 
rack, connected all cables, powered the system on, and checked the LED status for the 
system. When you have completed these steps, you can continue with the configuration of 
the IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node.

��

To complete this procedure, use a supported web browser. To verify that you are using a 
supported web browser from the following website:

��

Decide whether you are going to use an DHCP server to assign the node service IP 
address or will assign static IP addresses.

If using an DHCP server make sure the IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node has 
access to the DHCP server and there are at least two DHCP addresses available on the 
subnet for their use. These are the addresses that will be used in the initial installation.

If assigning static service IP addresses, make sure that you also know the management IP 
address that you want to assign to the IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node. This is the 
address that will be used to access the IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node cluster for 
management after installation is complete.

��

If you are using the Chassis Management Module (CMM) to setup your system, ensure 
that the chassis the IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node is installed in is being 
managed by the CMM.

If you are planning to use the CMM to setup your system, verify that you are using a CMM 
that supports the IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Nodes from the following website: 

��

If you are using the Flex System Manager (FSM) to setup your system, you must have an 
installed and pre-configured FSM. Verify that you are using a supported FSM for IBM Flex 
System V7000 Storage Nodes from the following website: 

Now that you have installed the IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node in the chassis with 
supported level of code you can create and configure a clustered system using the FSM. The 
following procedure will guide you through the necessary steps when using FSM web user 
interface.

Note: USB key is not required for first-time setup or normal operations. However, it may be 
required for resetting password, service IP, and to check the status of an inaccessible 
canister if directed by IBM Service and Support.
