You can access the storage appliance over Ethernet via the Cisco Ethernet Management Switch.
The storage controllers are configured in an active-passive cluster, by default. The software propagates the configuration to the peer controller during cluster initialization. After the cluster is initialized, you can administer the system from either storage controller.
Tip:
Refer to the Cluster documentation in the Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance Administration Guide located on http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E27998_01/html/E48433/index.html for more information.
Complete the following steps:
Verify that the storage appliance is powered up and on the network.
Connect an Ethernet cable from your network to the NET0 port on the back panel of the controller (storage server head).
Open a terminal window and use an SSH client to connect to the administrative console of the storage appliance (ssh root@192.168.128.256). When prompted, enter the administrative password for the storage appliance that you set when running Oracle Exalogic Configuration Utility to configure the Exalogic machine.
After login, at the command prompt, type start /SP/console.
Type y to confirm that you want to start the console.
Press any key to begin configuring the appliance. The shell interface configuration screen appears. NET-0 at the top of the screen should be underlined.
Verify the information on the screen, or enter values that do not appear.
Apply the values by pressing ESC-1 or the F1 key or by pressing Enter after confirming the password. The final shell configuration screen appears, confirming that your appliance is ready for further configuration using the browser user interface (BUI).
Configure the remaining system parameters through a browser running on any client on the same network as the initial interface. The management software is designed to be fully featured and functional on the following supported web browsers: Firefox 2.x and 3.x, Internet Explorer 7, Internet Explorer 8, Safari 3.1 or later, and WebKit 525.13 or later.
Direct your browser to the storage system using either the IP address or host name you assigned to the NET0 port as follows:
https://ipaddress:215
or
https://hostname:215
The login screen appears.
Type root into the Username field and the administrative password that you entered into the appliance shell kit interface and press the Enter key. The Welcome screen appears.
To begin configuring the system, click Start on the Welcome screen.You are guided through the Initial Configuration of the remaining network interfaces, DNS, time settings, directory service, and storage.
