Steps
1. From your workstation or virtual machine, launch the PowerStore Discovery Utility.
2. Select the unconfigured base enclosure for which you want to create a cluster.
3. Log on to PowerStore Manager and begin the initial configuration process using the following default credentials:
● Username: admin
● Default password: Password123#
Remote discovery with a static IP address
You can discover PowerStore systems remotely using a static IP.
Prerequisites
Review the following before discovering with one of the static IP addresses reserved for PowerStore discovery.
● (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 https://psapps.emc.com/central/solution/
NVT-PowerStore.
● 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.
Steps
1. From your workstation or virtual machine, open a Web browser, and enter any one of the IP addresses reserved for access
to the PowerStore Discovery Utility.
● 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. Log on to PowerStore Manager and begin the initial configuration process using the following default credentials:
