Prior to connecting the Oracle FS System to the customer management network, configure the settings for the Pilot management interface using the default IP addresses on the Pilots.
- Prerequisites:
The customer-supplied Ethernet cables are connected
to the NET 3 ports on the Pilots.
A laptop is connected to the NET 3 port on Pilot 1 and you can successfully ping 10.0.0.2.
The customer-supplied Ethernet cables are not connected to the customer management network.
The system is powered on and has a status of Normal. Do not continue if the system status is not Normal. Configuration updates fail if the system does not have a status of Normal.
The software for Oracle FS System Manager (GUI) is installed on a laptop, and the laptop is connected to the NET 3 port on Pilot 1.
- From the laptop that is connected to the NET 3 port on Pilot 1, log into the GUI using the administrator account.
The default password is pillar.
Use the default IP address of the Pilot (10.0.0.2) in the Oracle FS Name field to connect to the Oracle FS System.
When you first log in to the GUI, you might receive a notice that the administrator password has expired. Enter a new password and set a password expiration that allows sufficient time to complete the installation and the configuration of the system, such as 10 days.
Important! When you complete the installation and configuration, give the new password to the person who is responsible for managing the system.
- Navigate to .
- Select .
- Update the default IP addresses, netmask, and the gateway to match the customer’s network environment.
- If the customer management network requires auto-negotiation to be disabled, make sure that the interface speed and duplex setting of the Pilot are set exactly the same as the settings on the switches that connect the system to the customer management network.
Note: Auto-negotiation is strongly recommended. If the customer’s Ethernet switch supports 1 GbE or 10 GbE, do not disable auto-negotiation. Disabling auto-negotiation should be avoided.
- Verify that you entered the correct settings for the IP address, netmask, and gateway.
Note: Do not proceed to the next step until after you have verified the new settings for the IP address, netmask, and gateway.
- Click OK.
With the updated IP address, your laptop will lose connectivity to the active Pilot.
- To reconnect the laptop to the active Pilot, update the TCP/IP configuration of the laptop to match the Pilot’s newly configured IP address, netmask, and gateway.
- From the laptop, verify that you can log into the GUI using the updated IP address.
