● Connectivity between the storage system, the DHCP server, and the DNS server The DHCP server must be configured to automatically register DHCP clients with Dynamic DNS services. By default, storage systems are configured to use DHCP for IP assignment and will accept an IP address offered by a network DHCP server. Perform the following steps to automatically assign an IP address to your storage system management port: Steps 1. After you power up the storage system, check the SP Fault LED. ● If the SP Fault LED is solid blue, a management IP address has been assigned. ● If the SP Fault LED is solid blue for three seconds and then flashes amber for one second intervals, no management IP address has been assigned. Check the connectivity between the system, the DNS server, and the DHCP server. 2. Open a web browser and access the Unisphere management interface specifying the following as a URL in the browser's address bar: serial_number.dns_zone where URL string serial_number dns_zone Description Serial number of your storage system. You can find this in the packing materials that came with your system (for example, FNM00131800283). It is also on the PSNT tag on the front of the DPE. Network DNS zone on which the storage system is located (for example, mylab.emc.com). Based on the examples provided in this table, the URL to the storage system would be FNM00131800283.mylab.emc.com. NOTE: If a certificate error appears, follow the instructions in your browser either to bypass the error or to install the self-signed storage system certificate.

Connectivity between the storage system, the DHCP server, and the DNS server
The DHCP server must be configured to automatically register DHCP clients with Dynamic DNS services. By default, storage
systems are configured to use DHCP for IP assignment and will accept an IP address offered by a network DHCP server.
Perform the following steps to automatically assign an IP address to your storage system management port:
Steps
1.
After you power up the storage system, check the SP Fault LED.
●
If the SP Fault LED is solid blue, a management IP address has been assigned.
●
If the SP Fault LED is solid blue for three seconds and then flashes amber for one second intervals, no management IP
address has been assigned. Check the connectivity between the system, the DNS server, and the DHCP server.
2.
Open a web browser and access the Unisphere management interface specifying the following as a URL in the browser's
address bar: serial_number.dns_zone
where
URL string
Description
serial_number
Serial number of your storage system. You can find this
in the packing materials that came with your system (for
example, FNM00131800283). It is also on the PSNT tag on
the front of the DPE.
dns_zone
Network DNS zone on which the storage system is located
(for example, mylab.emc.com).
Based on the examples provided in this table, the URL to the storage system would be FNM00131800283.mylab.emc.com.
