Using the Setup Wizard

Configure the following information into your DHCP server:

• Filer MAC address
• Filer fixed IP address
• Any of the following optional information:
  • Routers
  • Default route
  • DNS domain name
  • DNS servers
  • NIS domain name
  • NIS servers
  • WINS servers
  • SMTP server

    Note
    If you do not configure this information into your DHCP server, the corresponding fields in the Setup Wizard will be empty, and you will need to enter the information manually into the Setup Wizard fields.

Boot the filer by doing both of the following:

1. Turn on the power switches to all disk shelves.
2. Turn on the filer's power switches.

   Note
   After the filer boots, Data ONTAP begins discovering the devices, interfaces, and licenses installed in the system, prompting you to enter setup information.

Answer the prompts using the information you gathered earlier, until you are asked to continue setup using the Web interface.

See Chapter 2, Information Gathering.

Enter y when you receive the following prompt:

Would you like to continue setup through the Web 
interface?

From a filer client's Web browser, enter the following URL:

http://filer_ip_address/api

filer_ip_address is the IP address for your filer.

Example

If the IP address of the onboard Ethernet interface (named e0) is 10.14.26.99, enter the following:

http://10.14.26.99/api

Result:

The browser displays the Setup Wizard startup page.

Fill in the Setup Wizard fields using the information you gathered earlier.

After you verify that the configuration information is correct as shown on the last screen, click Finish.

If you are configuring a pair of filers in a cluster and have not configured the other filer, set up the other filer in the cluster now.
