Configure the remaining system parameters and set up clustering on the primary server through the BUI using a browser running on any client on the same network as the initial interface.
During cluster initialization, the software propagates the configuration from the primary server to the peer server. After the cluster is initialized, you can administer the system from either server. However, do not attempt initial configuration on both servers independently. Refer to the Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance Administration Guide for the appropriate software release at http://www.oracle.com/ goto/ZFSStorage/docs for more information on setting up a clustered environment. Also refer to the administration guide for detailed configuration information.
The management software is designed to be fully featured and functional on a variety of web browsers.
Note - Do not use Internet Explorer version 6 or earlier.
There are six steps for initially configuring the:
Network
DNS
Time
Name Services (NIS, LDAP, Active Directory)
Storage
Registration and Support
Ensure that you have met all prerequisites, including reading the section Clustering Guidelines, and storage configuration considerations in the Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance Administration Guide.
If the login screen does not appear and the message Secure Connection Failed is displayed, click the button to add an exception, download the certificate, and click Confirm Security Exception.
Note - Only perform this initial configuration on the primary server.
You are guided through the initial configuration, one step at a time.
Arrows beneath the Commit button can be used to revisit previous steps and change the configuration, if desired.
To add an interface, drag a device from the Devices column to the Datalinks column. Then drag it from the Datalinks column to the Interfaces column and add the IP address, along with other configuration data. Lock the management interfaces to make them private network interfaces.
You must enter values for the DNS server. To enter additional DNS servers, click the “+” character and add them.
To synchronize the client time to the NTP server time, click Sync.
Note - The initial configuration can be repeated at a later time by navigating to the Maintenance > System BUI screen and clicking the “INITIAL SETUP” button.
