SANergy

Macintosh computers can only be clients in a SANergy File Sharing network. To set up the Macintosh client, use the following steps:

  1. Set up and configure one Windows computer as the MDC first.
  2. Connect the cables (fibre channel and Ethernet) to the SAN workgroup.
  3. Power up one Macintosh computer.
  4. Configure your Macintosh for the storage adapter (FC, SCSI, SSA).
  5. Set up the Ethernet environment. Be sure to give your Macintosh a name in the sharing-setup panel.
  6. Install the SANergy File Sharing dongle.
  7. Exit all running applications.
  8. Insert the CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive and do one of the following:
  9. From the DAVE 2.1 SANergy File Sharing 1.5 folder, double-click on the Installer icon. The “SANergy File Sharing/DAVE” window appears.
  10. Select Continue. The “DAVE License Agreement” window appears.
  11. Read and acknowledge the License Agreement and do one of the following:
  12. Select Install. If you have any applications open, they close automatically. When the installation finishes, you receive a “Success” window.
  13. Select Restart. Your computer automatically reboots.
  14. Select Apple/Control Panel/netBIOS. The “DAVE License Entry” window appears.
  15. Type in your name, organization, and DAVE license number. Your DAVE license number is on a separate sheet in your Macintosh SANergy File Sharing kit.
  16. Select OK. The “NetBIOS” window appears.
  17. Type in the machine name for your Macintosh and the workgroup or domain name.
  18. Close the “NetBIOS” window. A confirmation window appears.
  19. Select Save to save the NetBIOS settings.
  20. On the Windows side, share the volumes and folders as desired.
  21. Select Apple/Chooser, select DAVE Client, and double-click on the MDC computer name. The “Connect to Server” window appears.
  22. Type in your user name and password. The “Share” window displays the MDC name in the upper-left corner and all known volume and folder shares.
  23. Click on the desired volume or folder to share, then select OK. The share now mounts to your desktop. The mount-point on the Macintosh should be blue; this means that it is fused. If it is not blue, the Macintosh was unable to see all the physical disks that it needs. You will be running at Ethernet speeds.
  24. Repeat steps 21 to 23 to mount additional shared volumes.

Setting up the MacIntosh Network Environment

Macintosh PowerMac models come complete with a 10BaseT Ethernet connection ready to use.

  1. Select Apple/Control Panel/TCP IP.
  2. Select Connect via Ethernet.
  3. Select Configure Manually.
  4. Type in a valid TCP/IP address and subnet mask (for example, 255.255.255.0). If you are using a corporate LAN and this computer has not yet been on an IP network, you should check with your network administrator for a proper address. If this is a new setup, you can choose any four number address group you want (for example, 192.168.0.1).
  5. Leave all other fields in the Control Panel blank.
  6. Close the Control Panel and save the changes.
