Chapter 3—Configuring the nTier700

2.Enter the IP address for the Ethernet port you used in the browser address bar using the form:

https://nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn

where nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn is the IP address of the Ethernet port you connected to the network.

Important The BlueScale web interface uses a secure Internet connection. You must prefix the IP address with https:// instead of just entering the IP address.

By default, all four Ethernet ports are configured to use DHCP addressing.

Notes: ƒ If you connected to the network using Ethernet port 1, the DHCP-assigned IP address is displayed on the operator panel on each blade.

ƒIf your network does not use a DHCP server, use the operator panel on any of the blades to configure a fixed IP address for Ethernet port 1 as described in the Spectra nTier700 Backup and Archive Appliance User Guide. Connect Ethernet port 1 to the network and use it to connect to the BlueScale web interface for the first time.

3.Resolve the warning about the web site’s security certificate. The warning displays because the nTier700 does not have a valid security certificate.

Notes: ƒ This warning only appears if you have not resolved the security certificate warning as described in this step.

ƒIf you choose to skip this step, you will receive the warning about the security certificate each time you access the BlueScale web interface.

ƒAs new browser versions are released, the process for resolving the security certificate warning may be different from what is described here.

ƒThe absence of the certificate does not affect functionality. If you want to eliminate this warning, purchase your own security certificate from www.verisign.com, www.instantssl.com, or another SSL certificate vendor and install on the nTier700 server.
