3 Multi-node setup After the VLS300 is physically installed, configure the identities of each node: • Configure primary node--node 0 • Configure the secondary node(s)-nodes1 through 7 Configure primary node-node 0 To configure the primary node: 1. On the primary node, connect to the serial port or use the keyboard and mouse ports to connect to a console. 2. Power on the primary node of the VLS300. After several minutes, a menu will appear on your monitor asking whether the node is a primary (master, m) or secondary (slave, s) node. 3. Enter "m". The VLS300 will then run cable checks and configuration checks. 4. After the checks are complete the node will reboot automatically. Wait for the primary node to fully boot. Rebooting is complete when you receive the "Initializing node#", then "Initializing for node# completed." messages in the systems notifications (if you have DHCP enabled) or when you see the login prompt on the terminal (Figure 12). Figure 12 Notifications window 5. Set the IP address and other public network configurations on the VLS300. Refer to Setting the network settings for instructions. Configure the secondary node(s)-nodes 1 through 7 To configure the secondary nodes (nodes 1 through 7): 1. On the secondary node, connect to the serial port or use the keyboard and mouse ports to connect to a console. HP StorageWorks 35

3 Multi-node setup
After the VLS300 is physically installed, con
gure the identities of each node:
Con
gure primary node--node 0
Con
gure the secondary node(s)—nodes1 through 7
Con
gure primary node—node 0
To con
gure the primary node:
1.
On the primary node, connect to the serial port or use the keyboard and mouse ports to connect to
a console.
2.
Power on the primary node of the VLS300.
After several minutes, a menu will appear on your monitor asking whether the node is a primary
(master, m) or secondary (slave, s) node.
3.
Enter “m”. The VLS300 will then run cable checks and con
guration checks.
4.
After the checks are complete the node will reboot automatically. Wait for the primary node to
fully boot.
Rebooting is complete when you receive the “Initializing node#”, then “Initializing for node#
completed.” messages in the systems noti
cations (if you have DHCP enabled) or when you see
the login prompt on the terminal (
Figure 12
).

cations window
5.
Set the IP address and other public network con
gurations on the VLS300. Refer to
Setting the
network settings
for instructions.
Con
gure the secondary node(s)—nodes 1 through 7
To con
gure the secondary nodes (nodes 1 through 7):
1.
On the secondary node, connect to the serial port or use the keyboard and mouse ports to connect
to a console.
