Shortlist
- Use the TAB pullout on the HPE Alletra 6000 to record both the Nimble and the HPE Serial Numbers from the device
- Patch Eth0A in on both controllers ( this will be used for management ) and power on the Unit ( Sometimes takes 10 minutes for it to start you can plug in a screen to confirm it goes to login )
- Download and install Install HPE Storage Toolkit on the Windows Host – https://infosight.hpe.com/InfoSight/media/software/active/public/1/293/Setup-NimbleNWT-x64.7.0.0.31.zip
- Run this on a PC on the same Subnet and VLAN as the Unit. The Unit by default does NOT grab a DHCP address , it grabs an address on the 169.x.x.x , the Storage Toolkit finds this via broadcast. The software then opens a Webpage so you can administer this
- Go through setting up IP \ NTP etc on the unit , after the last page it will give you a “Use subscription key to activate device” and it will fail to join to Greenlake
- Login with your existing customer HPE Passport account and create a New Greenlake account for the Company ( see Creating an HPE GreenLake company account )
- After this is done install the Data Services Cloud App See (Adding the Data Services Cloud Console app to an HPE GreenLake company account )
- Create an Administrator role for your new user in Data Services Cloud Console ( Adding assignments and scopes to the Data Services Cloud Console app )
- Add Storage Device to Greenlake ( Adding storage systems to the Data Services Cloud Console app ) using Use subscription key to activate device
- Assign the Storage Device to the Data Services Cloud Console ( Adding assignments and scopes to the Data Services Cloud Console app )
- After this to go Data Services Cloud Console and Welcome page, click Launch in the Setup Service tile. This is where you will configure the device with Data IPs and other settings
- After this is complete , you will then be able to access the Nimble OS Dashboard on the Device locally
