DiMeda 10G
Getting Started
Step 1. Unpack Appliance
Unpack DiMeda. Move it to the place of operation. Warning: DiMeda is
heavy; use care in lifting it. Save packaging materials. To transport
DiMeda, use the original packaging.
Step 2. Insert drives
The system was configured with the drives in a set order. Each drive is
labeled. It is important that you insert the 24 drives into the front of the
array in the following order:
Step 3. Cable DiMeda
a. Attach electrical cables, as shown in Figure 1. For greater
redundancy, attach electrical cables to at least two separate power
sources.
b. Attach an Ethernet cable from Port 0 to a node on the net-work.
c. Power up DiMeda by pressing the small round On/Standby button on
the front left of the machine, as shown in Figure 2.
Step 3. Open DiMeda Software on Workstation
a. From any network machine, recognize DiMeda by adding an IP
address within the subnet range of 172.31.0.0.
b. Open DiMeda software in a Web browser (such as Netscape,
Internet Explorer, or Mozilla) by entering the following in the browser
address bar:
https://172.31.31.30:9890
Notice the s in the https: address. Make sure the advanced Internet
options include cookies and JavaScript (or JIT).
c. Read and agree to the license agreement.
d. Enter the password, which is the appliance serial number which
appears along the top of the frame, as shown in Figure 3.
The appliance software opens and defaults to the setup window. Click on
Setup. The Configure Network Ports window appears.
Step 4. Configure Network Ports
Configure network ports to work in your environment. Do not enable
jumbo frames unless you are certain your software supports them. The
public IP address for Port 0 (external) is the DiMeda address on the
network. After setting port values, click on Next.
Step 5. Set Up a Name and IP Address
a. Review the local domain name. The default is Default.Domain.
b. Review the gateway address and netmask. The default gateway
address is 0.0.0.0 (no gateway).
c. Enter the node name for DiMeda. Click on Next.
Step 6. Change the Password
Change the DiMeda password for security. (Remember to write it down.)
Click on Next.
Step 7. Set Date and Time
Select the correct time zone, date, and time. Click on Next.
Step 8. Configure SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) notifies an SNMP
manager via traps when an event occurs in the DiMeda system. To
disable SNMP, leave the window blank. Click on Next. To enable SNMP,
do the following:
a. Enter a community name.
b. If you have an SNMP manager running on a host, enter the IP
address of the SNMP server for Host 1 or 2 for either SNMP Version
1 or 2. Both versions of SNMP report error conditions. SNMP2 is an
updated version that has better security, automatic continuous
feedback, and potentially provides more error information. DiMeda
will send event notices to that host.
c. Choose the severity level that will trigger an event notification. Click
on Next.
