2.2 Optional changes to system parameters

Default values are appropriate for most configurations, but may be modified for your needs using ATTO FastStream VT 5300 browser-based user interface.

Customize the username, password

It is best practice to change the default username and password to a username and password significant to you.

While opening a Command Line Interface session is not usually recommended, you must use the CLI to change the username and password.

Note

The username is case insensitive and password is case sensitive.

1Open a CLI session either using Telnet or the serial port as shown in Interface options on page 23.

2Type set Username [user name]

3Press Enter.

4Type set Password

5Press Enter.

6Follow the instructions on the screen to confirm your old and new password.

The username and password for all Telnet, FTP and ATTO FastStream VT 5300 browser-based user interface sessions is changed.

Change system configurations

You may change several parameters using the System Configuration page of the FastStream GUI.

1If you are not already in the FastStream GUI, type the IP address of your appliance, as found in Use the FastStream VT 5300 GUI on page 23, in a standard browser, click Enter Here and type in your username and password.

2The Monitor VTL page appears. In the left- hand menu, click on the Manage button.

3In the main splash screen, click on the FastStream menu item.

4Click on the System Configuration button

5Click on Next.

6Click on the choices available. A choice may be

greyed out because it is not available based on a previous choice.

Enable or disable Simple Network Time Protocol.

Enabling SNTP means the FastStream sets its time and date based on the information supplied by a server on the World Wide Web. If you disable SNTP, you set the time and date yourself in the text boxes.

Change the Fibre Channel configuration for each port

Data rate

Specifies the SCSI initiator ID on the specified SCSI port as found in NVRAM. All maps coinciding with the ID are destroyed

Specifies the rate the FastStream VT 5300 uses 1 Gigabit/sec., 2 Gigabit/sec. 4 Gigabit/sec. or auto negotiate. The default is auto.

Connection mode

Controls the connection mode the FastStream VT 5300 uses when communicating across a FC network, either to an arbitrated loop (FC-AL) when you select loop mode, or point-to-point when you choose ptp. If you choose loop-ptpor ptp- loop, the FastStream VT 5300 tries to use the first parameter first, but uses the second if it cannot use the first. The default is loop

Enable or disable hard address assignment

Under soft addressing, the FastStream VT 5300 loop address is assigned during loop initialization. Enter the hard address if you enable hard addressing: a hexadecimal value representing the address the FastStream VT 5300 tries to use. Choices are 0 through 125 and default is fp1=3; fp2=4

Change the SCSI configuration for each port

Bus speed

Controls the transfer rate at which the unit attempts to negotiate with its SCSI devices. Default is Ultra 320

Initiator ID

after the command is issued. Default is 7

7When you have completed your changes, click on Commit.
