Prerequisites
●
(Optional) Download and run the Network Validation Tool (NVT) for PowerStore to validate that your networks are correctly
configured. The NVT can be downloaded from Dell EMC Central Solutions at
NVT-PowerStore
.
●
Temporarily disable your firewall. If that is not possible, add port 5353 and the Discovery Utility to the exclusion list of any
firewall and antivirus software running on the workstation. Refer to your antivirus and firewall documentation for more
information.
NOTE:
If your workstation or VM is running Windows 10, and you use Windows Defender Antivirus, ensure that you also
disable Real-time protection. In the
Windows Security
app, go to
Virus & threat protection
.
●
Disable any other security applications, such as antivirus software.
●
Ensure that your workstation or virtual machine is connected directly to the same switch that the base enclosure is cabled to
or is on the same VLAN as the native/untagged network of the PowerStore management network connection:
○
Create a second network adapter that uses the same native/untagged network as the PowerStore management network
connection.
○
Verify whether there is an IP address starting with 169.254.x.x/16 subnet setup available that you can use as the IP
address of the second network adapter. If such an IP address is not available, set the IP address of the second network
adapter to 169.254.1.2 with netmask 255.255.0.0 and no gateway address defined. This address cannot be overwritten
by any other address ranges (whether you use DHCP or static IP addresses).
NOTE:
To avoid duplicate IP addresses, ensure that there is only one laptop or virtual machine in the same native/
untagged network with the 169.254.x.x IP address you set up.
●
If you had the Discovery Utility already running, ensure that you exit and restart the Discovery Utility after temporarily
disabling the firewall or antivirus services.
