● (Optional) Download and run the Network Validation Tool (NVT) for PowerStore to validate that your networks are correctly configured. The NVT is available for download from the Dell Technologies Solutions page at: https://central.dell.com/ central/home. ● 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 169.254.0.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. 1. From your workstation or virtual machine, open a Web browser, and enter any one of the IP addresses reserved for PowerStore discovery. ● http://169.254.0.10 ● http://169.254.0.20 ● http://169.254.0.30 ● http://169.254.0.40 ● http://169.254.0.50 2.
