1. SGI InfiniteStorage NEXIS 2000 Quick Start

This document guides a knowledgeable user through the basic setup of an SGI InfiniteStorage

NEXIS 2000 system. If you received your NAS system already racked and cabled you probably

will use only the information in the first three sub-sections of this guide. Professional assistance

with the setup of your new NAS solution is available through SGI Managed Services. If you

ordered such service, please contact the SGI Customer Support Center to schedule the on-site

visit. If you are performing your own setup of the SGI InfiniteStorage Appliance Manager

software, see “Software Configuration” on page 5. End-users or administrators who are

rack-mounting and cabling systems on site should review the information in “SGI InfiniteStorage

NEXIS 2000 System Hardware Setup” on page 10. Keep this document for future reference.

For more information on hardware/software used with the SGI InfiniteStorage NEXIS 2000, see:

•SGI Altix XE240 System User’s Guide (P/N 007-4873-00x)

•SGI InfiniteStorage 220 Initial Setup Guide (P/N 007-4938-00x)

•SGI InfiniteStorage Appliance Manager User’s Guide (P/N 007-4699-004 or later)

NAS Hardware Overview

Depending on your NAS configuration, the system may come with Serial ATA (SATA) or Serial

Attached SCSI (SAS) drives. The NAS data manager is a 2U compute and I/O enclosure that

cables directly to the RAID controller or controllers in the primary drive enclosure.

NAS Data Manager Rear Components

Figure 1-1 shows the ports and indicators on the rear of a data manager module (Altix XE240).

Table 1-1 calls out the component specifics on the back of the unit.

RAID Controller/Drive Enclosure Rear Panel

Note that controller A (left side of enclosure) contains drive channel 1, while controller B (right

side of enclosure) contains drive channel 2. Figure 1-2 shows the controller’s input/output ports.

Drive Expansion Enclosure Rear Panel

The drive expansion enclosure connects to the RAID expansion enclosure(s) using serial-attached

SCSI (SAS) cables (rather than fibre channel). Each RAID controller has one drive expansion

connector (located on the far right of the controller). You can connect up to three optional drive

expansion enclosures to your RAID controller/drive enclosure. Drive expansion modules (see

Figure 1-3) use the following SAS connectors:

1. SAS in connector

2. SAS out connector

Powering On an SGI InfiniteStorage NEXIS 2000 System

Plug your NAS system into a suitable power outlet(s), as in the example shown in Figure 1-4 (for

racked chassis). Refer to the SGI InfiniteStorage 220 Initial Setup Guide for a more detailed

power-up description.

Turn on the power to all connected drive enclosures before you turn on the RAID controller

enclosure, turn on the data manager last. This action ensures that the controllers recognize each

attached drive enclosure.

Software Configuration

Software Configuration

If your NAS system’s hardware is configured and powered on, use the SGI InfiniteStorage

Appliance Manager Setup Wizard to set up the initial software configuration of your SGI Data

Manager appliance.Web browser Internet Explorer 6.0 or Mozilla Firefox 1.0 or later are required.

It should only be run after the hardware setup instructions have been completed and verified and

the machine has been powered up. To run the wizard, connect a cross-over ethernet cable from a

laptop or PC to the primary ethernet port on the 2U NAS Data Manager appliance. The cable plugs

into the left-hand NIC port (NIC1) when looking at the rear of the unit, see Figure 1-5.

Figure 1-5 Ethernet Connection to Data Manager

Then launch a web browser to the following URL:

https://192.168.9.9:1178

Note: You may need to temporarily reset the IP address of the laptop or PC to 192.168.9.1 for

this to work correctly.

The setup wizard is intended to be easy to use and leads you through the initial system

configuration steps. Figure 1-6 shows an example start screen. For more details, see the

SGI InfiniteStorage Appliance Manager User’s Guide, (P/N 007-4699-004 or later). Note that

only revision four or later will have the applicable information for this NAS product. Once the

software setup phase has completed, you must restart the SGI NAS system. Afterwards, you

should remove the cross-over cable and plug the system into the local areanetwork.Notethat once

the system has been restarted, you can monitor its performance, or change the software

configuration by going to https://your.server:1178/.
