x VTL Value Hardware Installation Guide • Aug 2007
The chapters are organized to reflect top-level tasks. The first chapter details the physical
installation of the appliance hardware, including rack mounting, cabling, and power up
procedures. The second chapter explains the initial configuration of the operating system
software and network and some basic checks that should be run on a newly installed system.
Appendices provide additional information that, while not essential to a normal installation,
may prove useful in special circumstances. These list the private network addresses used
when installing the VTL Value appliance, provide instructions for serially connecting to the
VTL Value Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) service processor, and summarize
commands that can be entered at the ILOM commandline interface (CLI).
