Configuration and administration tools
The NAS Gateway 300 is a network-attached storage appliance that has
several different methods of configuration depending on your environment.
First, determine how you will manage the device. You can manage the NAS
Gateway 300 in “headless” mode or with a keyboard, display, and mouse
directly attached to each node. See “Using a keyboard, monitor, and mouse
for setup and configuration” on page 13 for information on managing this
device using a keyboard, display, and mouse. For “headless” management
of the NAS Gateway 300, you can use one of the following tools:
v
Terminal Services, for remote configuration and management from
another device on the network
v
Universal Manageability Services (UMS) for management through a Web
browser
v
Windows 2000 for NAS, a Web-based GUI for those not familiar with the
Windows desktop
v
IBM Advanced Appliance Configuration Utility (IAACU) for setup and
configuring multiple devices or other appliances on a single network
After you determine how you will manage the NAS Gateway 300, you can
begin setup and configuration of the device.
For more information on configuration and administration tools, see
Chapter 3, “Configuration and administration tools” on page 13.
Step 1 - Initial network setup
Configure both nodes to enable access over the network. The general steps
to do this are given below. More details are given in Chapter 2, “Getting
started” on page 9.
1. Use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) or static addressing
to set up one public network connection in each node.
a. If you are operating with a keyboard, display, and mouse, set up a
public network connection to access the device.
b. If you are operating in a headless environment, use one of the
following methods:
v
If DHCP is installed and the IP address requested can be
determined, you can use DHCP for initial setup, but you should
change this address to static later in the configuration.
