The following sections contain information about installing the .
Attention: Before installing your appliance, read carefully the installation procedures in the IBM TotalStorage IP Storage 200i Installation Guide.
The Administrative Console requires the Sun Java Plug-in 1.3, which is available online at java.sun.com.

Before the IBM IP Storage can be fully functional as an iSCSI server, you must obtain an initial IP address and complete a set of required configuration tasks using the Administrative Console. The Administrative Console allows you to configure and manage the through a web browser. Because the appliance is headless, configuration must be completed from another machine, known as the management workstation.
You can access the Administrative Console through the Service Ethernet (control port) or Gigabit Ethernet (data port).
The Gigabit port is not preconfigured with an IP address. To
obtain the initial IP address, point the browser on the Administrative Console
to URL
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:3939/IBM200i,
where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address you
want to assign to the appliance. This address must not be
used by other systems in the network.
If the browser times out, the IP-address assignment was not successful. Go to a command line in the management workstation. Type arp -a [n] (where n is the desired IP address) and press Enter. If the corresponding MAC address does not match the appliance's MAC address, then the IP address is used by another host; repeat this procedure using another IP address. If the ARP entry is resolved to the correct appliance, delete the resolved entry by typing arp -d IP_address and pressing Enter, and repeat this procedure. If multiple appliances are being set up simultaneously, retry with a different address after deleting the resolved entry.
When the workstation connects successfully to the appliance, a pop-up window appears for login and password. Refer to the IBM TotalStorage IP Storage 200i Installation Guide and IBM TotalStorage IP Storage 200i Administrator's Guide for instructions on logging into the Administrative Console and configuring the .
The Service Ethernet is preconfigured with IP address 192.9.200.1. The Administrative Console must be configured on the 192.9.200 subnet to use the preconfigured IP address.
It is recommended that you use the default IP address of the Service Ethernet; however, you can change the default IP address from the serial console by typing enet and pressing Enter at the svc> prompt and following the instructions on the screen. (See Recovering the appliance for instructions on setting up the serial console.)
To connect to the through the Service Ethernet, point your browser to URL
http://192.9.200.1:1959/IBM200i.
