Configure the RSA II
You must configure a number of parameters in the RSA II before proceeding with the installation process.
Refer to section 3.2 in the
iSCSI Network Planning Guide
for detailed information required to configure the
RSA II. This process picks up from any of the screens after signon on the RSA II web browser interface.
Before you begin
: Be sure to have the
iSCSI Network Planning Worksheets
handy; you will need
information from them as you complete this task.
1.
Navigate to the RSA II Web browser interface.
2.

1)
Disabled - Use static IP configuration
.
2)
Enabled - Obtain IP config from DHCP server
. This option requires an operating DHCP
server when you install the operating system.
c.
Enter a name for this RSA II in the
Hostname
(worksheet item XSP2) field.
d.
Enter a value for the following fields under the
Static IP Configuration
heading need to be filled
in if the
Disabled – Use static IP
configuration value was selected for the
DHCP
field above:
v
IP address
– type in the IP address (worksheet item XSP4).
v
Subnet mask
– type in the desired subnet mask (worksheet item XSP5).
v
Gateway address
– type in the gateway address (worksheet item XSP6).
e.
Click
Save
to complete configuring the network interfaces.
7.
Select
System Settings
under
ASM Control
on the navigation pane on the left side of the window.
8.
On the next window under the

12.
Click
OK
to confirm that you want to restart the Remote Supervisor Adapter II. A window is
displayed advising that the browser window will be closed. Click
OK
to continue.
Update the System x or xSeries iSCSI HBA firmware
If update media for the iSCSI HBA firmware was built during the download process, it should be applied
at this time. Use the procedure in this section to accomplish this task.
1.
Plug the ac power cords into a power source. Refer to System x or xSeries documentation to complete
this step.
