Connecting to the RAID Controller for the First Time
Powering Up Your Storage
Powering your system and storage up or down should be done in a proper sequence. This will ensure that
the system functions properly.
WARNING An incorrect power up sequence can mean your system does not recognize all drives.
To power up your system:
1 Make sure your workstation is shut down.
2 Power up the storage expansion enclosures.
3 Power up the storage RAID controller units.
4 Wait about 90 seconds for all the drives to spin up. Their lights are solid green when they are spun up.
5 Power up your workstation.
To power down your system, shut down your workstation first, then the RAID controller units, and finally
the expansion enclosures.
Connecting to the RAID Controllers
Each of the two RAID controllers in an XR RAID enclosure has its own IP address; you can configure LUNs
by connecting to either of the two. The factory default IP address of RAID controller 0 (the bottom controller)
is 10.1.1.5. For RAID controller 1 (the top controller) the factory default IP address is 10.1.1.6.
To connect to the controller and set its IP address:
1 Connect the second Ethernet port on your workstation to the Ethernet port of RAID controller 0.
2 Set the second Ethernet interface on your workstation to 10.1.1.100. As root, open a terminal and type:
ifconfig eth1 10.1.1.100 netmask 255.255.255.0
3 Launch the Stone Storage Manager RAID management utility by pointing a Web browser from your
workstation at the IP address of the RAID controller. For example, http://10.1.1.5:9292
4 When prompted to enter a user name and password, enter the user name admin and the password
password.
5 Optional: perform the following steps to change the RAID controller IP address to one that is consistent
with your local network.
■ In the Stone Storage Manager, click Settings.
