4Enter this address into your browser.

5The ATTO ExpressNAV screen appears. Log in using the Telnet defaults:

Username: Telnet

Password: Diamond

6Follow the screens to find information about the array or to configure the array from the factory- default settings. The Diamond Storage Array may be set up in a JBOD, RAID Level 0, 5 or 10 configuration with or without Hot Spare sleds

If the Diamond Storage Array is not attached to a DHCP server and you wish to change the defaults

1At the Ready prompt after POST (see above), type set IPAddress [desired IP address].

2Type set IPSubnetMask [desired IP Subnet

Mask]

3Type set IPGateway [desired IP Gateway]

4Type SaveConfiguration Restart to save the configuration and restart the Diamond Storage Array

5After the powerup and POST complete, type the IP address from step 1 above into your browser.

6The ATTO ExpressNAV screen appears. After logging in (refer to Step 2b: connect to Ethernet, Step 5 on page 6), follow the screens to find information about the array or to configure the array from the factory-default settings. The Diamond Storage Array may be

set up in a JBOD, RAID Level 0, 1, 5 or 10 configuration with or without Hot Spare sleds.

Step 3: set up RAID configuration

The simplest way to set up configurations is to use the ExpressNAV interface. Refer to ATTO

on page 23 for more information on the interface. After logging in (refer to

page 6), follow the screens to find information about the array or to configure the array from the factory-default settings.

You may the CLI, the QuickRAID commands to set up RAID and hot spare sleds, if required.

Each Hot Spare sled configuration requires a certain number of Hot Spare sleds. These sleds, once designated as Hot Spares, are not available for other use.

RAID Level 10: 10 drive sleds and two Hot Spare sleds (sleds 11 and 12).

Note

All arrays using RAID level 10 and Hot Spare sled options must be fully populated.

RAID Level 5: 10 drive sleds and two Hot Spare sleds (sleds 11 and 12)

RAID Level 5: five drive sleds (sled positions 1 through 5) and one Hot Spare sled (sled 12).
