Attention: Do not connect the technician port to a switch. If a switch is detected,
the technician port connection might shut down, causing a 746 node error.
Procedure
To initialize the system, complete the following steps.
1. Ensure that the system is powered on, as described in “Powering on the
system” on page 153.
2. Configure an Ethernet port on the personal computer to enable Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) configuration of its IP address and DNS
settings.
If you do not have DHCP, you must manually configure the personal computer.
Specify the static IPv4 address 192.168.0.2, subnet mask 255.255.255.0,
gateway 192.168.0.1, and DNS 192.168.0.1.
3. Locate the Ethernet port that is labeled T on the rear of the node canister.
On Storwize V5010 and Storwize V5020 systems, the second onboard 1 Gbps
Ethernet port is initially used as the technician port. Figure 142 and Figure 143
show the location of the technician port (▌T▐) on each model.
Storwize V5030 systems have a dedicated technician port. Figure 144 on page
161 shows the location of the port (▌T▐).
