Installing Navigator 2 on a Sun Solaris operating system
The following procedure describes how to install Navigator 2 on a Navigator 
2-supported version of Sun Solaris. Before you perform the following 
procedure, be sure that the following directories have at least the minimum 
of amount of available disk space shown in Table 3-1.
To perform a new installation for Sun Solaris
1. Insert the Hitachi Storage Navigator Modular 2 installation CD-ROM into 
the management console’s CD/DVD-ROM drive.
2. Mount the CD-ROM on the file system. The mount destination is /cdrom.
3. Create a temporary directory with sufficient free space (more than 600 
MB) on the file system and expand the compressed files. The temporary 
directory is /temporary here.
4. In the console, issue the following command lines. In the last command, 
XXXX varies with the version of Navigator 2.
5. In the console, issue the following command line:

After you use the instructions in Chapter 3, Installing Navigator 2 
to install the Navigator 2 software, use the instructions in this 
chapter to start Navigator 2.

Hardware considerations
Before you log in to Navigator 2, observe the following considerations.
Verifying your hardware installation
Install your Hitachi Data Systems storage system according to the 
instructions in the system’s hardware guide. Then verify that your Hitachi 
Data Systems storage system is operating properly.
Connecting the management console
After verifying that your Hitachi Data Systems storage system is 
operational, connect the management console on which you installed 
Navigator 2 to the storage system’s management port(s).
Every controller on a Hitachi storage system has a 10/100BaseT Ethernet 
management port labeled LAN. Hitachi storage systems equipped with two 
controllers have two management ports, one for each controller. The 
management ports let you configure the controllers using an attached 
management console and the Navigator 2 software.
Your management console can connect to the management ports directly 
using an Ethernet cable or through an Ethernet switch or hub. The 
management ports support Auto-Medium Depedent Interface/Medium 
Dependent Interface Crossover (Auto-MDI/MDIX) technology, allowing you 
to use either standard (straight-through) or crossover Ethernet cables.
Use one of these methods to connect the management console to controller, 
then power up the storage system.
Logging in to Navigator 2
The following procedure describes how to log in to Navigator 2. When 
logging in, you can specify an IPv4 address or IPv6 address using a 
nonsecure (http) or secure (https) connection to the Hitachi storage 
system.
To log in to Navigator 2
1. Launch a Web browser on the management console.
2. In the browser’s address bar, enter the IP address of the storage 
system’s management port using IPv4 or IPv6 notation. You recorded 
this IP address in Table C-1 on page C-1:
•  IPv4 http example: 
http://IP address:23015/StorageNavigatorModular/Login
•  IPv4 https example: 
https://IP address:23016/StorageNavigatorModular/Login
TIP:You can attach a portable (“pocket”) hub between the management 
console and storage system to configure both controllers in one procedure, 
similar to using a switch.

•  IPv6 https example (IP address must be entered in brackets): 
https://[IP address]:23015/StorageNavigatorModular/Login
You cannot make a secure connection immediately after installing 
Navigator 2. To connect using https, set the server certificate and 
private key (see Setting the certificate and private key on page 10-
8).
3. At the login page (see Figure 4-1), type system as the default User ID 
and manager as the default case-sensitive password. 
Figure 4-1:  Login Page
4. Click Login. Navigator 2 starts and the Arrays window appears, with a 
list of Hitachi storage systems (see Figure 4-2 on page 4-4).
NOTE:Do not type a loopback address such as localhost or 127.0.0.1; 
otherwise, the Web window appears, but the window following it does not.

5. Under Array Name, click the name of the storage system you want to 
manage. One of the following actions occurs:
•  If the storage system has not been configured using Navigator 2, a 
series of first-time setup wizards launch, starting with the Add 
Array wizard. See Selecting a storage system for the first time, 
below.
•  Otherwise, the storage system uses the configuration settings 
previously defined. Proceed to Chapter 5, Quick Tour.
Selecting a storage system for the first time
With primary goals of simplicity and ease-of-use, Navigator 2 has been 
designed to make things obvious for new users from the get-go. To that end, 
Navigator 2 runs a series of first-time setup wizards that let you define the 
initial configuration settings for Hitachi storage systems. Configuration is as 
easy as pointing and clicking your mouse.
The following first-time setup wizards run automatically when you select a 
storage system from the Arrays window. Use these wizards to define the 
basic configuration for a HItachi storage system.
• Add Array wizard - lets you add Hitachi storage systems to the 
Navigator 2 database. See page 4-5.
• Initial (Array) Setup wizard - lets you configure e-mail alerts, 
management ports, Internet Small Computer Systems Interface 
(iSCSI) ports and setting the date and time. See page 4-7.
• Create & Map Volume wizard - lets you create a logical unit and map it 
to a Fibre Channel or iSCSI target. See page 4-14.
NOTE:If no activity occurs during a Navigator 2 session for 20 minutes, 
the session ends automatically. 
						

							Starting Navigator 24–5
Hitachi Storage Navigator Modular 2 User’s Guide
After you use these wizards to define the initial settings for your Hitachi 
storage system, you can use Navigator 2 to change the settings in the future 
if necessary.
Navigator 2 also provides the following wizard, which you can run manually 
to further configure your Hitachi storage system:
• Backup Volume wizard - lets you create a local backup of a volume. See 
page 4-19.
Running the Add Array wizard
When Navigator 2 launches, it searches its database for registered Hitachi 
storage systems. At initial login, there are no storage systems in the 
database, so Navigator 2 searches your storage network for Hitachi storage 
systems and lets you choose the ones you want to manage.
You can have Navigator 2 discover a storage system by specifying the 
system’s IP address or host name if you know it. Otherwise, you can specify 
a range of IP addresses. Options let you expand the search to include IPv4 
and IPv6 addresses. When Navigator discovers storage systems, it displays 
them under Search Results. To manage one, click to the left of its name 
and click Next to add it and display the Add Array window. Click Finish to 
complete the procedure.
You can also run the Add Array wizard manually to add storage systems 
after initial log in by clicking Add Array at the bottom of the Arrays window.
Initially, an introduction page lists the tasks you complete using this wizard. 
Click Next > to continue to the Search Array window (see Figure 4-3 on 
page 4-6) to begin the configuration. Table 4-1 on page 4-6 describes the 
fields in the Search Array window. As you specify your settings, record them 
in 
Appendix C for future reference. Use the navigation buttons at the bottom 
of each window to move forward or backward, cancel the wizard, and obtain 
online help.

FieldDescription
IP Address or Array Name Discovers storage systems using a specific IP address or 
storage system name in the Controller 0 and 1 fields. The 
default IP addresses are:
• Controller 0: 192.168.0.16
• Controller 1: 192.168.0.17
For directly connected consoles, enter the default IP 
address just for the port to which you are connected; you 
will configure the other controller later.
Range of IP Addresses Discovers storage systems using a starting (From) and 
ending (To) range of IP addresses. Check Range of 
IPv4 Address and/or Search for IPv6 Addressees 
automatically to widen the search if desired.
Using Ports Select whether communications between the console 
and management ports will be secure, nonsecure, or 
both.
