Setting Up Your PowerVault NX3500 Solution 53
The mappings are saved. The Topology pane and the Defined Mappings
pane in the Mappings tab are updated to reflect the mappings.
Running the PowerVault NASCU
The PowerVault NAS Configuration Utility (NASCU) walks you through the
steps necessary to set up the network configuration and pair the PowerVault
NX3500 controllers together. It also starts the process of pairing the system to
the PowerVault MD3xx0i storage appliance. It is recommended that you
determine your network configuration and IP address allocation for your NAS
controllers before executing this utility. See “Completing the NAS System
Setup Worksheet” on page 42.
Before running the PowerVault NASCU, ensure that:
• The PowerVault NASCU is installed and executed from a management
station that has IPv6 enabled. The utility connects to and configures your
controllers through the local link Ipv6 address. Ipv6 can be disabled, but
only after the installation and configuration is complete.
• The management station is connected to the same switch as the client
connections on your NAS controllers (see Table 2-1).
NOTE: Use the PowerVault NASCU only for initial configuration. After the PowerVault
NX3500 is configured use the NAS Manager to make changes to the configuration.
Installing the PowerVault NASCU
NOTE: Do not attempt to use the PowerVault NASCU to reconfigure an already
clustered PowerVault NX3500 solution.
