AIX Installation Planning Before You Begin Use the Installation Profile to plan the installation of the disk subsystem hardware or software. The Installation Profile has two main columns: a Pre-installation Activity column and an Installation Activity column. The Pre-installation Activity column lists options from which you will enter or select configuration information based only on that which applies to your installation environment. The Installation Activity column lists the installation activities you will perform on the disk subsystem, storage management station, and host, based on your configuration selections in the Pre-installation Activity column. During the installation process, the SANtricity Storage Manager Installation Guide will refer you to the Installation Activity column to determine which installation activity to perform, in which sequence, and on which machine. You will perform only those activities that correspond to your selections in the Pre-installation Activity column.

Using the AIX Installation Profile 1 Review the following to ensure you complete the planning process correctly.
•
Storage management station – A storage management station typically is a personal computer or a workstation connected to an Ethernet network, which you use to manage one or more disk subsystems. A storage management station also can be a host connected to the disk subsystem using a Fibre Channel I/O path by which you manage the disk subsystems. Although you can install the storage management software on a host, the host will communicate with the disk subsystem controllers using TCP/IP protocol.
1-2
•
Host – A host is a computer that accesses the disk subsystem over a Fibre Channel I/O data connection. In this chapter, “host” refers to a standalone computer or a server in a cluster. A cluster is a group of servers that run clustering software and access the disk subsystem over a Fibre Channel I/O data connection.
•
Host name – The IP address is required if you do not have a domain name server (DNS). If a DNS server has been set up, you can enter either the host name or the IP address. You will enter the host name in the Hardware Configuration section of the Pre-installation Activity column.
•
Direct management restrictions – A maximum of eight clients can concurrently monitor a direct managed disk subsystem. This limit does not apply to client workstations managing the disk subsystem through the host-agent method. You will select the management method in the Hardware Configuration section of the Pre-installation Activity column.
•
Disk subsystem type – A disk subsystem can be internal or external. An internal disk subsystem is one housed within a host machine. An external disk subsystem is one physically distinct from the host. You will select the disk subsystem type in the Hardware Configuration section of the Pre-installation Activity column.
•
Event monitor – The event monitor installs automatically with the client software. After you have completed the installation process, you will be instructed to disable the event monitor on all but one machine to prevent receipt of duplicate error messages. You will identify the event monitoring machine in the Software Configuration section of the Pre-installation Activity column.

IRIX Installation Planning Before You Begin Use the Installation Profile to plan the installation of the disk subsystem hardware or software. The Installation Profile has two main columns: a Pre-installation Activity column and an Installation Activity column. The Pre-installation Activity column lists options from which you will enter or select configuration information based only on that which applies to your installation environment. The Installation Activity column lists the installation activities you will perform on the disk subsystem, storage management station, and host, based on your configuration selections in the Pre-installation Activity column. During the installation process, the SANtricity Storage Manager Installation Guide will refer you to the Installation Activity column to determine which installation activity to perform, in which sequence, and on which machine. You will perform only those activities that correspond to your selections in the Pre-installation Activity column.

Using the IRIX Installation Profile 1 Review the following to ensure you complete the planning process correctly.
•
Storage management station – A storage management station typically is a personal computer or a workstation connected to an Ethernet network, which you use to manage one or more disk subsystems. A storage management station also can be a host connected to the disk subsystem using a Fibre Channel I/O path by which you manage the disk subsystems. Although you can install the storage management software on a host, the host will communicate with the disk subsystem controllers using TCP/IP protocol.
3-2
•
Host – A host is a computer that accesses the disk subsystem over a Fibre Channel I/O data connection. In this chapter, “host” refers to a standalone computer or a server in a cluster. A cluster is a group of servers that run clustering software and access the disk subsystem over a Fibre Channel I/O data connection.
•
Host name – The IP address is required if you do not have a domain name server (DNS). If a DNS server has been setup, you can enter either the host name or the IP address. You will enter the host name in the Hardware Configuration section of the Pre-installation Activity column.
•
Direct management restrictions – A maximum of eight clients can concurrently monitor a direct managed disk subsystem. This limit does not apply to client workstations managing the disk subsystem through the host-agent method. You will select the management method in the Hardware Configuration section of the Pre-installation Activity column.
•
Disk subsystem type – A disk subsystem can be internal or external. An internal disk subsystem is one housed within a host machine. An external disk subsystem is one physically distinct from the host. You will select the disk subsystem type in the Hardware Configuration section of the Pre-installation Activity column.
•
Event monitor – The event monitor installs automatically with the client software. After you have completed the installation process, you will be instructed to disable the event monitor on all but one machine to prevent receipt of duplicate error messages. You will identify the event monitoring machine in the Software Configuration section of the Pre-installation Activity column.

NetWare Installation Planning Before You Begin Use the Installation Profile to plan the installation of the disk subsystem hardware or software. The Installation Profile has two main columns: a Pre-installation Activity column and an Installation Activity column. The Pre-installation Activity column lists options from which you will enter or select configuration information based only on that which applies to your installation environment. The Installation Activity column lists the installation activities you will perform on the disk subsystem, storage management station, and host, based on your configuration selections in the Pre-installation Activity column. During the installation process, the SANtricity Storage Manager Installation Guide will refer you to the Installation Activity column to determine which installation activity to perform, in which sequence, and on which machine. You will perform only those activities that correspond to your selections in the Pre-installation Activity column.

Using the NetWare Installation Profile 1 Review the following to ensure you complete the planning process correctly.
•
Storage management station – A storage management station typically is a personal computer or a workstation connected to an Ethernet network, which you use to manage one or more disk subsystems. A storage management station also can be a host connected to the disk subsystem using a Fibre Channel I/O path by which you manage the disk subsystems. Although you can install the storage management software on a host, the host will communicate with the disk subsystem controllers using TCP/IP protocol.
5-2
•
Host – A host is a computer that accesses the disk subsystem over a Fibre Channel I/O data connection. In this chapter, “host” refers to a standalone computer or a server in a cluster. A cluster is a group of servers that run clustering software and access the disk subsystem over a Fibre Channel I/O data connection.
•
Host name – The IP address is required if you do not have a domain name server (DNS). If a DNS server has been setup, you can enter either the host name or the IP address. You will enter the host name in the Hardware Configuration section of the Pre-installation Activity column.
•
Direct management restrictions – A maximum of eight clients can concurrently monitor a direct managed disk subsystem. This limit does not apply to client workstations managing the disk subsystem through the host-agent method. You will select the management method in the Hardware Configuration section of the Pre-installation Activity column.
•
Disk subsystem type – A disk subsystem can be internal or external. An internal disk subsystem is one housed within a host machine. An external disk subsystem is one physically distinct from the host. You will select the disk subsystem type in the Hardware Configuration section of the Pre-installation Activity column.
•
Event monitor – The event monitor installs automatically with the client software. After you have completed the installation process, you will be instructed to disable the event monitor on all but one machine to prevent receipt of duplicate error messages. You will identify the event monitoring machine in the Software Configuration section of the Pre-installation Activity column.

Windows 98 Installation Planning Before You Begin Use the Installation Profile to plan the installation of the disk subsystem hardware or software. The Installation Profile has two main columns: a Pre-installation Activity column and an Installation Activity column. The Pre-installation Activity column lists options from which you will enter or select configuration information based only on that which applies to your installation environment. The Installation Activity column lists the installation activities you will perform on the disk subsystem, storage management station, and host, based on your configuration selections in the Pre-installation Activity column. During the installation process, the SANtricity Storage Manager Installation Guide will refer you to the Installation Activity column to determine which installation activity to perform, in which sequence, and on which machine. You will perform only those activities that correspond to your selections in the Pre-installation Activity column.
IMPORTANT
Windows 98 supports only the SMclient software and direct management of the disk subsystems. Windows 98 machines can be used as storage management stations as long as the machines have an Ethernet connection to the disk subsystem.

Using the Windows 98 Installation Profile 1 Review the following to ensure you complete the planning process correctly.
•
Storage management station – A storage management station typically is a personal computer or a workstation connected to an Ethernet network, which you use to manage one or more disk subsystems. A storage management station also can be a host connected to the disk subsystem using a Fibre Channel I/O path by which you manage the disk subsystems. Although you can install the storage management software on a host, the host will communicate with the disk subsystem controllers using TCP/IP protocol.
7-2
•
Host – A host is a computer that accesses the disk subsystem over a Fibre Channel I/O data connection. In this chapter, “host” refers to a standalone computer or a server in a cluster. A cluster is a group of servers that run clustering software and access the disk subsystem over a Fibre Channel I/O data connection.
•
Host name – The IP address is required if you do not have a domain name server (DNS). If a DNS server has been setup, you can enter either the host name or the IP address. You will enter the host name in the Hardware Configuration section of the Pre-installation Activity column.
•
Direct management restrictions – A maximum of eight clients can concurrently monitor a direct managed disk subsystem. This limit does not apply to client workstations managing the disk subsystem through the host-agent method. You will select the management method in the Hardware Configuration section of the Pre-installation Activity column.
•
Disk subsystem type – A disk subsystem can be internal or external. An internal disk subsystem is one housed within a host machine. An external disk subsystem is one physically distinct from the host. You will select the disk subsystem type in the Hardware Configuration section of the Pre-installation Activity column.

Windows 2000 Installation Planning Before You Begin Use the Installation Profile to plan the installation of the disk subsystem hardware or software. The Installation Profile has two main columns: a Pre-installation Activity column and an Installation Activity column. The Pre-installation Activity column lists options from which you will enter or select configuration information based only on that which applies to your installation environment. The Installation Activity column lists the installation activities you will perform on the disk subsystem, storage management station, and host, based on your configuration selections in the Pre-installation Activity column. During the installation process, the SANtricity Storage Manager Installation Guide will refer you to the Installation Activity column to determine which installation activity to perform, in which sequence, and on which machine. You will perform only those activities that correspond to your selections in the Pre-installation Activity column.

Using the Windows 2000 Installation Profile 1 Review the following to ensure you complete the planning process correctly.
•
Storage management station – A storage management station typically is a personal computer or a workstation connected to an Ethernet network, which you use to manage one or more disk subsystems. A storage management station also can be a host connected to the disk subsystem using a Fibre Channel I/O path by which you manage the disk subsystems. Although you can install the storage management software on a host, the host will communicate with the disk subsystem controllers using TCP/IP protocol.
9-2
•
Host – A host is a computer that accesses the disk subsystem over a Fibre Channel I/O data connection. In this chapter, “host” refers to a standalone computer or a server in a cluster. A cluster is a group of servers that run clustering software and access the disk subsystem over a Fibre Channel I/O data connection.
•
Host name – The IP address is required if you do not have a domain name server (DNS). If a DNS server has been setup, you can enter either the host name or the IP address. You will enter the host name in the Hardware Configuration section of the Pre-installation Activity column.
•
Direct management restrictions – A maximum of eight clients can concurrently monitor a direct managed disk subsystem. This limit does not apply to client workstations managing the disk subsystem through the host-agent method. You will select the management method in the Hardware Configuration section of the Pre-installation Activity column.
•
Disk subsystem type – A disk subsystem can be internal or external. An internal disk subsystem is one housed within a host machine. An external disk subsystem is one physically distinct from the host. You will select the disk subsystem type in the Hardware Configuration section of the Pre-installation Activity column.
•
Event monitor – The event monitor installs automatically with the client software. After you have completed the installation process, you will be instructed to disable the event monitor on all but one machine to prevent receipt of duplicate error messages. You will identify the event monitoring machine in the Software Configuration section of the Pre-installation Activity column.

Disk Subsystem Names You can rename individual disk subsystems using the storage management software. All disk subsystems are displayed initially as after you have installed the storage management software. If you are upgrading the software from an earlier version, any previously named disk subsystems will display under their existing names. Use the following tips for devising disk subsystem names:
•
The storage management software allows a name up to 30 characters. All leading and trailing spaces will be deleted.
• •
Use unique, meaningful names that will be easy to understand and remember. Avoid arbitrary names or names that would quickly lose their meaning in the future.
The storage management software displays disk subsystem names with the prefix “Disk Subsystem.” Therefore, if you rename a disk subsystem “Engineering,” it will be displayed as, “Disk Subsystem Engineering.”

Usable Disk Capacity Within a disk subsystem, a certain amount of disk capacity will be unavailable for data storage because of overhead or redundancy requirements. Thus the total data storage disk capacity is the sum of the member disks’ capacities minus any capacity required for overhead and redundancy. The usable capacity of a volume participating in a mirroring relationship is the minimum of the primary and secondary volume actual capacities. The additional disk capacity needed for redundancy depends on the disk subsystem RAID level, hot spare configuration, and drive size and quantity.
RAID and Global Hot Spares A Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) is a disk array in which part of the physical storage capacity is used to store redundant information about user data. The redundant information enables reconstruction of user data in the event that one of the array’s member disks or the access path to it fails. You can configure various levels of redundancy on your RAID disk array, depending on your data storage needs. Currently supported levels are RAID 1, 3, and 5. A hot spare is a drive configured to automatically replace any failed drive within an array. A hot spare can substitute for any failed drive with the same or smaller capacity within specific RAID 1, 3, or 5 drive configurations, thereby increasing the redundancy level of the RAID configuration.

Coexistence Environments A coexistence environment is one in which you manage disk subsystems running different versions of controller firmware from the same machine, using the storage management software version supported by the respective firmware versions as noted in Figure A-1. A coexistence environment requires the following conditions:
•
Both SYMplicity Storage Manager 6.22 and SANtricity Storage Manager for version 8.3x will be installed on this machine.
•
SYMplicity Storage Manager 6.22 will be used to manage one or more disk subsystems from this machine with controllers running firmware up to version 3.01.04.
•
SANtricity Storage Manager for version 8.3x will be used to manage one or more disk subsystems from this machine with controllers running firmware version 4.xx through 5.3x.
SANtricity Storage Manager for version 8.3x provides the interfaces necessary to manage controllers running 4.01.02.30 through 5.3x firmware. To manage coexisting controllers running firmware versions 4.01.02.30 and 5.3x, you first need to remove any previous version of the storage management software from the machine.
IMPORTANT
Depending on the firmware version running on the controller, you may need to upgrade the controller firmware to prevent system problems. Procedures for determining if you need to upgrade your firmware are provided in the SANtricity Storage Manager Installation Guide.
If your operating system will use a storage management software version 8.3x failover driver, both version 6.22 and version 8.3x will share the failover driver installed with version 8.3x.

Management Methods You can manage the disk subsystem controllers from a storage management station or host using either the direct management or host-agent management method. You can use either or both methods, depending on your system configuration. See “Direct Management,” below, or “Host-Agent Management” on page A-8.
Direct Management With the direct management method, you manage the disk subsystem directly over the network through an Ethernet connection from a storage management station to the controllers (Figure A-2).
IMPORTANT
The maximum number of clients that can concurrently monitor a direct managed disk subsystem is limited to eight. This limit does not apply to client workstations that are managing the disk subsystem through the host-agent method.
The direct management method offers the following advantages:
•
You can use a storage management station to manage disk subsystems connected to a host that is running an operating system not supported by the storage management software. Contact technical support for more information.
•
You can configure the maximum number of LUNs supported by your operating system and host adapters. This method does not require an Access Volume, so it does not require the use of a LUN.
The direct management method requires the following:
A-6
• •
An Ethernet cable is required to connect each controller to the network.
•
A BOOTP server is required to configure the controller on the network.
You must specify a gateway IP address and subnet mask for each controller whenever adding disk subsystems.

Host-Agent Management With the host-agent management method, you use the storage management client software to manage disk subsystems through an Ethernet connection to a host (Figure A-3). The host-agent software receives communication from the storage management client software and passes it to the disk subsystem controllers along a Fibre Channel I/O path.
IMPORTANT
Windows 98 supports only the SMclient software. Thus, machines running this operating system can be used only as storage management stations or as hosts acting as storage management stations with Ethernet connections to the disk subsystem.
IMPORTANT
Windows 98, Windows NT, and Windows 2000 storage management stations require the TCP/IP protocol software to support host-agent management of the disk subsystems. Ensure the TCP/IP protocol software has been installed on any Windows storage management station that will be used for host-agent management and ensure the machine has been assigned a static IP address.
The host-agent management method offers the following advantages:
• • • •
Ethernet cables are not used to connect each controller to the network. A BOOTP server is not required to configure the controller on the network. Network configuration tasks for each controller are not required. Only the host name or IP address of the host must be specified when adding disk subsystems. After you add the specific host name or IP address, the host-agent software automatically detects any disk subsystems connected to that host.
The host-agent management method requires an Access Volume on the host machine to communicate with the disk subsystem controllers. The default Volume-to-LUN mapping assigned to the Access Volume is 7 for AIX, Linux, NetWare, Windows 98, Windows NT, and Windows 2000. For HP-UX, IRIX and Solaris, the default Volume-to-LUN mapping is 31. When a default Volume-to-LUN mapping is assigned, the total Volume-to-LUN mappings available are one less than the maximum allowed by the operating system and host adapters.

Event Monitor The event monitor, which is packaged with the client software, monitors disk subsystems and handles error notification through e-mail or SNMP traps when the storage management software is not actively running on the host. To provide continuous monitoring, use the event monitor on a storage management station that normally runs 24 hours a day.
IMPORTANT
Enable the event monitor only on one storage management station. If the event monitor is enabled on multiple machines, you may receive duplicate event messages.
The storage management software requires Microsoft Virtual Machine to run the event monitor on Windows machines. The storage management software installation CD provides the version of Microsoft Virtual Machine tested for use with the storage management software. You will be instructed on when and how to install this package during the installation process. For more information about the event monitor feature, refer to the Understanding SANtricity Storage Manager Concepts Guide.

Client Software The storage management client software provides the graphical user interface for managing disk subsystems and is required on all storage management stations. Which client package you need to install depends on the operating system running on the machine and whether you are running a frameworks integration package. If the storage management station is running Windows 2000 and IBM Director 3.1 or later and you want to integrate the client into the node network management framework, then you will install SMdirectorclient. Otherwise, you will install SMclient.
IMPORTANT
The SMdirectorclient, which is supported on Windows 2000 and Windows NT only, automatically installs SMmonitor. The SMclient installation offers the option to install SMmonitor on Windows machines.
Optionally, if the machine is running HP-UX, Solaris, Windows NT, or Windows 2000 and HP OpenView Node Network Manager, you can integrate the SMclient into, and launch it from, the frameworks application.
IMPORTANT
HP OpenView Node Network Manager is a third-party utility and is not included on the storage management software installation CD. If you will use this option, ensure HP OpenView Node Network Manager has been installed on the storage management station.

Failover Protection The storage management software supports several types of failover protection using multi-path drivers. A multi-path driver is an I/O path failover driver installed on a host computer that accesses the disk subsystem. The multi-path driver transfers I/O requests from the preferred controller to an alternate controller when a component failure or some other error occurs on the data path to the preferred controller. Using a failover protection method to reroute these I/O requests will maintain I/O access while you correct the error. Depending on the host operating system, you may have a choice of failover methods for a disk subsystem.
•
Failover driver software – A multi-path failover driver provided by the storage management software for Solaris, Windows NT, and Windows 2000 operating systems. You will install the failover driver software on hosts running Solaris, Windows NT, and Windows 2000.
•
Third-party failover driver – A multi-path failover driver native to the operating system, such as the Logical Volume Manager failover driver native to HP-UX. For information on multi-path failover protection, see your specific operating system documentation.
•
Host-adapter specific I/O path failover drivers – An I/O path failover provided by the host adapter driver. The failover driver provides redundancy in the event of host adapter and other types of I/O path failures. The QLogic host adapter failover driver and the LSI host adapter failover driver each have been certified by LSI as compatible for use on Linux hosts running the storage management software. Additionally, the QLogic host adapter failover driver has been certified compatible for use on NetWare hosts running the storage management software.
•
No failover – No failover protection means no multi-path driver is installed to transfer volumes of a failed controller to its alternate controller in a disk subsystem with dual, active controllers. Although each volume on the disk subsystem may be assigned a preferred controller, the volumes will not move to the alternate controller if a component on that controller’s I/O path fails. When a component fails, such as a cable or the controller, I/O cannot reach the disk subsystem and data may be lost. The component failure must be corrected before I/O can resume.
For an overview of the default failover settings by operating system, refer to Table A-1.

Cluster Configuration A cluster environment is a collection of interconnected computers used as a single computing resource. HP-UX, Solaris, or Windows NT or 2000 have been certified to use the storage management software in a cluster environment.
IMPORTANT
For hosts running different operating systems, it is recommended that you install the storage management software only in a standard (non-cluster) environment.
A cluster configuration lets you share a computing load over several systems without either the users or system administrators needing to know that more than one system is involved (Figure A-4). If any hardware or software component in the system fails, the users may see degraded performance, but will not lose access to the service. Although several systems in the cluster may have access to a device or resource, the cluster is effectively owned and managed by a single system at a time. Note that in a cluster configuration, both the direct management and host-agent management methods can be used.

Installing a Windows DHCP Server To configure a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, the DHCP Manager must be installed on a machine connected to the same subnet as the controllers you will configure. Instead of using BOOTP to receive IP addresses, Windows uses the DHCP server. DHCP software automatically assigns IP addresses to client workstations logging onto a TCP/IP network. Like BOOTP, DHCP eliminates having to manually assign permanent IP addresses. For specific procedures and more information, refer to your operating system software documentation.
Windows NT Server – Installing the DHCP Manager 1 Is the DHCP Manager already installed on the appropriate server?

Setting Up the NetWare DHCP Service Rather than using BOOTP to receive IP addresses, NetWare uses the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. DHCP software automatically assigns IP addresses to client workstations logging onto a TCP/IP network. Like BOOTP, DHCP eliminates having to manually assign permanent IP addresses. When a DHCP client workstation boots, it broadcasts a DHCP request for its IP address and network configuration. When the DHCP server receives the message, it checks its database to determine which configuration information to return. The DHCP server replies by sending a DHCP reply message that includes all TCP/IP configuration information required by the specific client that sent the request. For specific procedures and more information, refer to your operating system software documentation. Before installing the DNS/DHCP service, you must complete the following tasks in the order indicated:
• • • •

Extending the NDS Schema The following is a basic procedure to extend the NDS schema. The procedure may vary from your graphical user interface and operating system. For specific procedures and more information, refer to your operating system software documentation. Perform the following procedure to extend the NDS schema and create three required default DNS/DHCP (Domain Name System) objects using the NetWare installation program at the server console.
1 Select the graphical console at the server console. 2 Select Novell >> Install. The Install Products dialog is displayed.
3 Select Add and follow the procedure displayed on the dialog. The Source Path window is displayed.
4 Type the path to the Install directory in the Source Path window and select OK. You can use the Browse button to find the NetWare installation files.
5 Select the Novell DNS/DHCP services box in the Additional Products and Services dialog, if applicable. If you do not have the DNS/DHCP services installed, you can obtain the files from your NetWare software installation CD.
6 Authenticate yourself to Novell Directory Services (NDS) as a user with rights to extend the NDS schema. You must have supervisor rights to the root of the NDS tree.
a Type your fully distinguished name in the User Name field. b Type your password in the Password field. c Select OK. d Select Close to close the dialog. 7 Locate the Novell DNS/DHCP services file in the Products dialog. 8 Type the NDS context where you want to create the DNS-DHCP locator, DNSDHCP-GROUP, and RootServerInfo Zone objects.
9 Select Next. 10 Select Finish in the Summary dialog. When the installation is complete, the Installation Complete dialog is displayed.
11 Select Yes to reboot the server. 12 After the server reboots, you must log in again to continue. 13 Go to “Installing the Novell Client Software” on page B-18.

Verify TCP/IP Protocol and Controller Name To use the BOOTP server, you will need to complete the following verifications for Windows and NetWare:
• •
Verify the TCP/IP Protocol software is installed on all storage management stations.
•
Optionally, you can use the Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) instead of the DNS. Ask your Network Administrator to set up the DNS or WINS if it is not already installed and running.
If you are managing the disk subsystems directly, use the Domain Name Service (DNS) or host table to verify that each controller’s host name corresponds to its appropriate IP address.
1 Choose one of the following to verify the TCP/IP Protocol software installation:
•
Windows NT – Select Start >> Settings >> Control Panel >> Network >> Protocols. The window should have the TCP/IP protocol listed in the network components window. If the TCP/IP protocol software has not been installed, load it from the Microsoft Windows CDROM, then select Start >> Settings >> Control Panel >> Network >> Protocols >> Add.
•
Windows 2000 – Select Start >> Settings >> Network and Dial-up Connections >> Local Area Connection >> Properties. In the list of components, the Internet Protocols (TCP/IP) should have been selected. If the TCP/IP protocol software is not installed, load it from the Microsoft Windows CDROM, then select Start >> Settings >> Network and Dial-up Connections >> Local Area Connection >> Properties >> Install >> Protocols >> Add.

2 Edit the DNS or host table to associate a host name with an IP address. If you do not have DNS or WINS, edit the two host tables found in the following directories: Windows NT and Windows 2000 c:winntsystem32driversetchosts c:winntsystem32driversetclmhosts For example, to set up the host tables for the controllers connected to Network A, use a text editor to create the controller IP address and name entries (Table B-3):
