Chapter 4. IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node Initial Configuration 159

Before you begin
򐂰 You need to be sure your IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node has access to the DHCP
server and there are at least two DHCP addresses available on your subnet. These are
the addresses that will be used in the initial installation. If DHCP addresses are
unavailable, the node will use a default service IP address based on the slot location. This
can be changed to a static address using the CMM Component IP Configuration page.
򐂰 When a new control enclosure is installed in the IBM Flex System Enterprise Chassis, the
CMM automatically recognizes the new hardware. Open the CMM web user interface and
navigate to the chassis map. In the chassis map displayed by the CMM, you will see the
new Flex System V7000 Storage Node.
Follow the below procedure for the initial setup from the CMM interface.
1. Log in to the CMM and navigate to the chassis map. In the chassis map displayed by the
CMM, you will see all the IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node enclosures installed in
the chassis.
2. Select the Actions menu and click Launch Storage Node Console. The Action menu can
be found by right-clicking on the left canister in the graphical representation of the storage
node, as shown in Figure 4-8.

Attention: If the control enclosure you have installed in the chassis is being added to an
existing clustered system, do not use this procedure. Go to Adding another control
enclosure into an existing system.
Note: If you have installed more than one control enclosure in your IBM Flex System
V7000 Storage Node system, choose a control enclosure to be used to initialize the
system. It doesn't matter which control enclosure you choose. You cannot initialize the
system from an expansion enclosure.
