Setup Wizard  Basic Configuration of the Filer3-3
6WHSV
To begin the configuration, perform the following steps:
1. Turn on the filers power switch to begin the configuration process.
The first time the filer boots, it contacts the DHCP server and requests an IP
address. The DHCP server supplies the static IP address you configured it with.
2. From a client on the same network, point a web browser to
http://filer-name/api
or
http://filer-ip-address/api
Replace
filer-name
or filer
-ip-address
with either the name of the filer or the filers
IP address that you set up in the DHCP server.
The Setup Wizard loads.
3. Enter the information as requested.

After you finish configuring the filer, it is on-line. The following directories exist on
the filer:
/vol/vol0
/vol/vol0/home
NOTE: /vol is not a directoryit is a special virtual root path under which the filer
mounts its volumes. You cannot mount /vol to view all the volumes on the filer; you
must mount each filer volume separately.
If you purchased a license for the NFS protocol,
/vol/vol0
is exported to the administra-
tion host for root access;
/vol0/home
is exported to the administration host for root
access and to all clients for general access. Paths such as
/etc/passwd
are referenced
as
/vol/vol0/etc/passwd
.
If you purchased a license for the CIFS protocol,
/vol/vol0
is shared as C$; only the
system administrator with the root password has read and write access to the C$
share. The
/vol/vol0/home
directory is shared as HOME without access granted
to anyone.
