Logging in and Initializing the DR Series System

Use the DR Series system CLI and the Initial System Configuration Wizard to log in to and initialize the system. After completing a local console or iDRAC connection, log in to the DR Series system CLI:
  1. Launch a terminal emulator application (like PuTTY), and type the default IP address for the DR Series system (if you are not using iDRAC or local console).
  2. At the login as: prompt, type administrator, and press <Enter>.
  3. At the administrator@<system_name> password: prompt, type the default administrator password ( St0r@ge!), and press <Enter>. The Initial System Configuration Wizard window is displayed.
    Figure 1. Initial System Configuration Wizard Window The figure shows the initial system configuration wizard window.
  4. To configure the network settings, type y (for yes), and press <Enter>.
  5. To configure the use of the default IP address that ships with the system, choose to use static IP addressing. To do this, at the DHCP prompt, type no (this selects static IP addressing), and press <Enter>.
    • NOTE: When you select static IP addressing, you are prompted to type the static IP address (for example, you could use the default IP, 10.77.88.99) for the system, and press <Enter>. If your network supports the use of DHCP, type yes at the DHCP prompt, press <Enter>, and respond to any prompts.
  6. To configure a subnet mask address, type the subnet mask address you want to use (for example, you could use the default subnet mask address, 255.0.0.0), and press <Enter>.
  7. To configure a default gateway address, type the default gateway address you want to use (for example, 10.10.20.10), and press <Enter>.
  8. To configure a DNS Suffix, type the DNS suffix you want to use (for example, storage.local), and press <Enter>.
  9. To configure a primary DNS server IP address, type an IP address you want to use for the primary DNS server (for example, 10.10.10.10), and press <Enter>.
  10. (Optional) To configure a secondary DNS server IP address, type y (for yes), and press <Enter>. If you responded yes, type an IP address you want to use for the secondary DNS server (for example, 10.10.10.11), and press <Enter>.
  11. To change the default host name (for example, the serial number of the DR Series hardware appliance), type y (for yes) and press <Enter>. If you responded yes, type the host name you want to use, and press <Enter>. After you configure your host name response, the current system settings are displayed.
  12. To accept these settings, type y (for yes), and press <Enter>.
  13. If you want to change any of these settings, type n (for no), and press <Enter>. Modify the settings as needed, and press <Enter>. When completed, a successful initialization message is displayed.
  14. At the prompt, type exit and press <Enter> to end the DR Series system CLI session.

You are now ready to log in to the system using the DR Series system GUI.

  • NOTE: Before you log into the system using the DR Series system GUI, make sure to register it in the local Domain Name System (DNS) for your network so that it is a DNS-resolvable entry.
  • NOTE: At this point, you could modify the bonding mode to use 802.3ad, if this configuration is available in your network.
