Installation
4 Enter this address into your browser.
5 The ATTO ExpressNAV screen appears. Log in
using the Telnet defaults:
Username: Telnet
Password: Diamond
6 Follow the screens to find information about the
array or to configure the array from the factory-
default settings. The Diamond Storage Array
may be set up in a JBOD, RAID Level 0, 5 or 10
configuration with or without Hot Spare sleds
If the Diamond Storage Array is not attached to
a DHCP server and you wish to change the
defaults
1 At the Ready prompt after POST (see above),
type set IPAddress [desired IP address].
2Type set IPSubnetMask [desired IP Subnet
Mask]
3Type set IPGateway [desired IP Gateway]
4Type SaveConfiguration Restart to save the
configuration and restart the Diamond Storage
Array
5 After the powerup and POST complete, type
the IP address from step 1 above into your
browser.
6 The ATTO ExpressNAV screen appears. After
logging in (refer to Step 2b: connect to
Ethernet, Step 5 on page 6), follow the screens
to find information about the array or to
configure the array from the factory-default
settings. The Diamond Storage Array may be
set up in a JBOD, RAID Level 0, 1, 5 or 10
configuration with or without Hot Spare sleds.
Step 3: set up RAID configuration
The simplest way to set up configurations is to use
the ExpressNAV interface. Refer to
ATTO
ExpressNAV: Browser-based Interface
on page 23 for
more information on the interface. After logging
in (refer to
Step 2b: connect to Ethernet
, Step 5 on
page 6
), follow the screens to find information
about the array or to configure the array from the
factory-default settings
.
You may the CLI, the
QuickRAID
commands
to
set up RAID and hot spare sleds, if required.
• Each Hot Spare sled configuration requires
a certain number of Hot Spare sleds. These
sleds, once designated as Hot Spares, are
not available for other use.
• RAID Level 10: 10 drive sleds and two Hot
Spare sleds (sleds 11 and 12).
Note
All arrays using RAID level 10 and Hot Spare
sled options must be fully populated.
• RAID Level 5: 10 drive sleds and two Hot
Spare sleds (sleds 11 and 12)
• RAID Level 5: five drive sleds (sled positions
1 through 5) and one Hot Spare sled (sled
12).
